Obama Cronies Fail to Defund Planned Parenthood

Contact: Dana Cody, Life Legal Defense Foundation, 707-337-6889

WASHINGTON, April 15, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- Despite under-cover videos that document the willingness of PP employees to cover up sexual abuse, one video showing a Planned Parenthood employee actually coaching an undercover reporter posing as a pimp, telling him where to get abortions "no questions asked," and other instances of complicity in sex trafficking, yesterday the Senate failed to pass resolutions which would have defunded Planned Parenthood.

On Thursday, April 14, 2011, the House and Senate concluded consideration of the 2011 funding bill (House Resolution 1473). In addition to the funding bill itself, Congress considered two important pro-life resolutions: the Alexander Resolution to defund Obamacare (House Congressional Resolution 35 to defund Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act), and a resolution to defund Planned Parenthood (House Congressional Resolution 36 Black/Roby).

"Congratulations to the House of Representatives for voting to defund Planned Parenthood and Obamacare," states Dana Cody, President and Executive Director of Life Legal Defense Foundation. "The voters ousted the pro-abortion House last election and it is time to do the same to the Senate in 2012. America must start protecting its weak and vulnerable, especially when the powers that be are funding the extinction and exploitation of those weak and vulnerable women and children who have the misfortune of entering a Planned Parenthood."

Planned Parenthood's willingness to cover for sex offenders is also demonstrated by an Ohio case, Fairbanks v. Planned Parenthood, Case no. A0901484, Hamilton County, Ohio Court of Common Pleas. Denise Fairbanks, age 16, was sexually abused by her father, who took her to Planned Parenthood for an abortion. Although she informed Planned Parenthood staff that she was being forced to have sex, they did not report to local law enforcement. More than a year later, the father was apprehended through a report filed by Denise's basketball coach, and sent to jail.
