Late Thursday afternoon, Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., offered an amendment to the Labor-Health and Human Services Appropriations bill that would prevent taxpayer dollars from being used to fund Planned Parenthood or its affiliates.
Unfortunately, 231 representatives in the U.S. House voted to continue to send millions of dollars in taxpayer money to Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the world. Joining Pence in voting for the amendment were 188 lawmakers.
Pence deserves our thanks, said Ashley Horne, federal policy analyst for Focus on the Family Action.
"We applaud Rep. Pence for boldly offering this important pro-life amendment," she said.
