In a victory for the sanctity of human life, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 230-188 to overturn a rule that former President Obama established preventing states from defunding Planned Parenthood.
H.J. Res. 43, if passed by the Senate and signed by President Trump, would mean that states can choose to redirect Title X funds away from the largest abortion provider in the United States.
Planned Parenthood performed 323,999 abortion procedures which were subsidized by taxpayers during 2014-2015 alone. In recent years, several states receiving Title X family planning grants have opted to direct those funds to county health departments, community health centers, or other types of providers, instead of organizations such as Planned Parenthood.
“This decision by the House toward defunding Planned Parenthood is another significant step in the battle to make the womb a safe place again,” said Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel. “Taxpayers should not be forced to fund human genocide and foot the bill for an organization, like Planned Parenthood, that profits from the sale of baby body parts. We have to diligently work to reverse the horrific damage from the Obama administration that has already ended so many innocent children’s lives. I encourage the Senate to pass H.J. Res. 43 quickly so that President Trump can put his signature on it,” said Staver.

“would mean that states can choose to redirect Title X funds away from the largest abortion provider in the United States” My guess is that this won’t happen in California…
Today, Feb. 18th, the famous “Roe” (Norma McCorvey) of Roe vs. Wade, died, at age 69, in an assisted living facility, in Texas. She had a severe case of pneumonia, and next, heart failure took her life. Good thing she converted to Catholicism, and worked in pro-life! Now that she is gone, and is perhaps with God, her soul can still work, together with Christ and Our Lady, to overturn Roe vs. Wade, and hopefully, someday re-establish pro-life laws, for protection and love for all of God’s precious infants, in America!
Norma McCorvey, who never had an abortion– was the tragic victim of an extremely abusive early life. Again, good thing that she finally converted to the Catholic faith, and was active in the pro-life movement! And again– hopefully, God will help her to continue her pro-life work, spiritually, together with Christ and His Blessed Mother, from the next realms, in Heaven.
Pope Francis needs s true conversion to the authentic Catholic Faith, and to pro-life!
May the soul of Norma Mc Corvey and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
