House Freedom Caucus Calls on Congress to Cease All Federal Funding for Planned Parenthood
July 28, 2015
The Center for Medical Progress recently released two shocking videos that showed senior executives from Planned Parenthood discussing and negotiating the sale of body parts from aborted babies.
In response, representatives from both parties have called for investigations into these disturbing allegations. For example, on July 15, Speaker Boehner announced that the House will investigate the ‘gruesome practices' of Planned Parenthood, and on July 22, Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced that the Department of Justice will ‘review all of the information'. Multiple House and Senate committees have already launched those investigations.
The House Freedom Caucus issued the following statement to cut off federal funding for Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates:
"The House Freedom Caucus believes that while investigations into the sickening alleged practices of Planned Parenthood are ongoing, we cannot in good conscience continue to give them taxpayer money. We therefore urge Congress to cease all federal funding for Planned Parenthood."
Mission statement of the House Freedom Caucus:
"The House Freedom Caucus gives a voice to countless Americans who feel that Washington does not represent them. We support open, accountable and limited government, the Constitution and the rule of law, and policies that promote the liberty, safety, and prosperity of all Americans."
