I am not sure how the US Senate will end up.
"Richard immediately launched into her organization’s main concern, a bill sponsored by pro-life Rep. Mike Pence that would de-fund Planned Parenthood."

President Obama doesn't strike me as being as socially liberal as he is fiscally liberal. I doubt he'd squander his political capital opposing a move like this.
Pro Life controlled the House, the Senate and the White House for six years recently, and abortion is still legal.
Can't give the conservatives all of what they want, or they won't have so many awesome reasons to be pissed off at liberals.
Lol,and vice versa.
As opposed to say Canada which has no laws at all. Good one.Let's hope these politicians act upon their principals and not stay silent. It's a shame that America has probably the most liberal abortion laws in the world.

Planned Parenthood and Obama are very close. He's also the most pro abortion president we have ever had. He voted against any medical intervention to a born alive baby that was meant to be aborted. Just let it die.
I think it's something like 70-80 % of the population is against federal funding of abortions. I never understood why we funded planned parenthood.
with obama in the white house though, no way that it happens.

The federal government DOESN'T fund abortions, haven't you heard of the Hyde Amendment? Funding Planned Parenthood doesn't mean funding abortions which is only about 2% of PP's work. PP must keep funds separate and carefully account for all federal money. Statistics show that for every government dollar spent on family planning, $4 of tax money is saved. I think its a good buy.
We won't be defunding Planned parenthood anytime soon.
Obama pledged to Planned Parenthood: “I will not yield” to pro-life concerns :: Catholic News Agency (CNA)
Washington D.C., Feb 28, 2008 / 06:15 am - On Wednesday a full transcript of Democrat presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama’s July 2007 speech to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund in which he vigorously defended legalized abortion became available.
In the July 17 speech, Obama attacked the Supreme Court decision that upheld the federal partial-birth abortion ban and the nomination of Supreme Court justices who favor overturning Roe v. Wade. In the speech the senator said, "There will always be people, many of goodwill, who do not share my view on the issue of choice. On this fundamental issue, I will not yield and Planned Parenthood will not yield."
LOL, yea I guess killing babies could be a cost saving in some cases.
Please show where only 2% of PP 's work is abortions. That has got to be way too low.
