Tens of thousands of pro-life advocates across the country protested at Planned Parenthood abortion clinics across the country this weekend. They protested to raise national attention to the massive scandal at Planned Parenthood, where its staff and officials have been caught selling aborted babies and their body parts.
After eight shocking videos that have caught top Planned Parenthood abortion practitioners arranging to sell aborted babies — and even dissecting one live baby — millions of pro-life people are up in arms.
But a report on Planned Parenthood’s connections to members of Congress will outrage pro-life people even more.
The videos, which follow Senate Democrats defeating a bill to de-fund Planned Parenthood, show how the Planned Parenthood abortion business may be selling the “fully intact” bodies of unborn babies purposefully born alive and left to die.
SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must De-Fund Planned Parenthood Immediately
How is it that so many members of the Senate voted to support funding Planned Parenthood — knowing that it is America’s biggest abortion business? It turns out that Planned Parenthood has financed the campaigns of all but one senator who voted against the measure to de-fund it.
“Detailed research proves that the abortion lobby pads the pockets of lawmakers. In turn, these lawmakers are willing to stand on the Senate floor, blatantly spewing out the very same lies Planned Parenthood tells the public – all to prevent an abusive organization from being defunded,” LiveAction notes. “According to publicly available federal campaign donation records, every single Senator who voted not to defund Planned Parenthood, except one, has been awarded money from the abortion giant.”
Senator Angus King is the one exception, the only Senator who has not accepted Planned Parenthood cash, the pro-life group indicates.
“In order to fund nearly every Democrat in the U.S. Senate who voted against defunding Planned Parenthood, the Planned Parenthood Action Fund (PPA) and Planned Parenthood Votes (PPV), have spent $1,609,498. Roughly 2/3 of this money was spent in 2012 alone,” LiveAction adds.
Here is the list from the pro-life organization of senators who voted to keep taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood and selling aborted babies:
