WEST CHESTER, Ohio, Sept. 28, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- On Friday, September 23, the House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution that funds both the abortion giant Planned Parenthood and Obamacare. Boehner was one of the Republicans that voted to fund Planned Parenthood and Obamacare. Representative King said to CNSNews.com, "Democrats have more conviction on funding Planned Parenthood than the body of Republicans have on shutting it off--if it comes down to a government shut down...From my standpoint, I say: Let's have that fight. And if it becomes the confrontation that results in Harry Reid or the president shutting the government down over taxpayer funding to organizations like Planned Parenthood, let's have that fight. Let's see what the public says. I think they are going to side with those of us who decide on the side of innocent unborn babies."

David Lewis states: "It is incomprehensible to me that Republicans who claim to be pro-life would continually use taxpayer dollars to fund organizations such as Planned Parenthood. Representative King is a true pro-life hero; if I were in John Boehner's House seat, I would follow Representative King's example and fight to entirely defund Planned Parenthood and Obamacare.

"It is time for Republicans to show that they are pro-life when it comes down to the vote. So far all that John Boehner has shown us is that he sides with Planned Parenthood whenever the opportunity presents itself."

Representative Cliff Stearns from Florida is leading the charge to investigate Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood has been caught numerous times over the years covering up cases of sexual abuse including abuse of minors.

David Lewis states: "I support Cliff Stearns and other House members who are investigating Planned Parenthood, a criminal syndicate, that not only murders babies, but also covers up abuse of young girls. If I were a House member I would fight unashamedly to defund Obamacare and Planned Parenthood, and to ultimately end the crime of legalized child-killing, for good.

"Representatives King's and Stearn's actions in contrast to John Boehner's actions provide evidence that my primary challenge to Speaker Boehner is not only valid but necessary because Speaker Boehner is what is wrong with the Pro-Life and Tea Party movements."
