Jordan statement on continuing resolution that funds Planned Parenthood
September 30, 2015
Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) made the following statement regarding today's vote to pass a continuing resolution out of the U.S. House of Representatives that does not remove federal funding from Planned Parenthood and instead send it to more comprehensive federally qualified women's health clinics:
"I would have supported the funding bill had it simply redirected taxpayer dollars from Planned Parenthood to community health centers around the country, where women can receive actual, comprehensive healthcare. I am disappointed that despite the gruesome and incontrovertible video evidence of Planned Parenthood's activities, the President got his way and nothing changed. Taxpayers are tired of being treated this way, and they are fed up with politics as usual."
