Why? So they can pass more IMMORAL laws or - Truthhurts

or keep most ILLEGAL procedures? No thanks.

They're corrupt enough (Congress) and don't need more politicians that don't give a darn about the citizens or breaking the laws.

Cali is at it again. Appointing ILLEGAL ALIENS to a city's council. Ridiculous!!!!!!! This is your Demonrats, more illegal than legal. They don't care about law anymore. They only care about votes.

On top of that, EPA (in my opinion Economic Prevention Agency) - along with Obama are crushing

us with regulations as far as energy to buy votes (and punish America, making it hard to mine for coal so electricity costs will "necessarily skyrocket." Those are Obama's own words.

The EPA is not about protecting the environment.

The "do nothing republicans" are actually the same as - big government democrats. The left

should love them. Watch what they do, not what they say. Most of the RINOs get their money from the same corporations and lobbyists as the democrats, including Planned Parenthood. This was predictable. There are only a handful if that of true conservatives in Congress.

This was all symbolic. They never really wanted to defund - PP. nomsg

The Supreme Court found gay marriage in the Constitution, - but not a baby's right to life. Strange.

They needed 60 votes. 2 Republicans voted against it, 2 Dems voted for it. - Truthhurts

Republicans have the majority but they only have 54 seats. It's crazy. Republicans McConnell and Kirk voted NAY!!!! It was a partisan vote as usual. When are those in Congress going to realize nothing will get done unless they start WORKING TOGETHER???? I guess it's time for another letter to the idiots.

They needed 7 votes to pass. Disgusting that Dems care more about allowing the selling of baby parts and abortion a/k/a murder, than they do about the people's wishes.

Yet they say Republicans are in a war against women. The Dems are pushing the war against women again, but what they don't say is that defunding PP is necessary because it's illegal to fund abortions anyway as is the selling of baby parts....or did obama decided to issue an EO to allow them to get away with this (which i wouldn't doubt)?

Time for the Dems to wake up and realize that they are not the party of the people like they think they are. They are no better than Margaret Sanger herself, only this time it doesn't matter what the color is of the aborted baby.

Abortion is legal, PP does not use federal - funds for abortion, and

fetal tissue is being used for research.

This is just another Conservative Dramatization so the nation can abide by their biblical fantasy.

What is fetal tissue used for?

Tissue from elective abortions and miscarriages is used for a wide variety of purposes. Scientists who want to regenerate organs and tissues may use it to learn how the human body makes them in the first place. Others look for defects in early development that can cause disease or miscarriage, or study normal development, which can guide therapeutic strategies. The tissue is also used to learn how medicines or toxins affect a fetus.

Is using fetal tissue a new idea?

Hardly. Scientists have worked with it since the 1930s. The 1954 Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded for work with fetal tissue that led to developing a vaccine against polio. The National Institutes of Health spent $76 million on human fetal tissue research in fiscal 2014.

What diseases are being studied today?

AIDS and muscular dystrophy, for example. Some experimental treatments for spinal cord injury and macular degeneration involve transplanting fetal cells into patients. And European researchers recently began a study of putting fetal tissue into patients' brains to treat Parkinson's disease, a strategy that has had mixed results in the past.

How is the tissue provided?

It comes from hospitals and abortion clinics. Sometimes it goes directly to researchers, and in other cases it is handled by nonprofit organizations or companies that supply researchers. The groups or companies can be reimbursed for expenses associated with costs like processing and storing the tissue, federal law says.

Does the woman have to agree to using the tissue for research?

Yes, she has to give consent. And the matter can't be raised until after she has decided to have an abortion.

Can't researchers just use stem cells instead?

Stem cells, including those obtained with adult donors, can develop into a variety of tissues in the lab. The European researchers in the Parkinson's study and others hope to learn enough to use them someday for transplant tissue. Experts say stem cells have already substituted for fetal tissue for some purposes, but that scientists still need fetal tissue to learn basic information about how organs form, or help them simulate certain diseases in the test tube.

PP will always - be funded

[ In Reply To ..]
because cons and Rs (pretend to) care more about fetuses than they do about actual living children or their mothers, especially the poor ones.

I also think if a test is developed to determine whether or not a child will grow up to be gay the cons will be wishing they had a PP nearby to have it "taken care of."

It's going to a committee. Why? Do they really need to study this bill? It's very simple.

The bill would require the VA Secretary to give the Senate and House Veterans’ Affairs Committees notice of removal within 30 days of removing an indi ...

Until July 1, a low-income New Hampshire woman paid an average of $5 to fill a birth control pill prescription at any of the state's six Planned Parenthood clinics. She might have even gotten the birth control for free, depending on her poverty level. But since the New Hampshire Executive Council voted to cancel the state's contract with Planned Parenthood, a woman now has to pay anywhere from $40 to over $100 for birth control pills at a regular pharmacy. The Council, a constit ...

"Ten Republican-controlled state legislatures have voted to defund Planned Parenthood since the 2010 midterm elections, but the clinics affected by the cuts will not have to shut their doors any time soon. The Obama administration so far has awarded hefty new federal family planning grants to Planned Parenthood clinics in three states that have cut the providers' funding: New Jersey, Tennessee and North Carolina." I want to see Texas on that list too. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/20 ...

Not so much what was said, but what they left out of the original fakery films. My question is why are Conservatives so easily duped? Why do they feel the world is so treacherous and evil?

Planned Parenthood’s standing in the public eye has not been diminished despite months of concerted attacks by Republicans, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News Poll has found.

That is about the same — even a tad better — than the 45%-30% split found in a Journal/NBC poll in July. At a time when Republicans have been calling for cutting off fed ...
