Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the U.S. was officially defunded today, a great day today for Christians?

"The House of Representatives today voted 241-187 today to end funding to Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood does an estimated 291,000 abortions annually.

Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, teamed with eugenics organizations such as the American Eugenics Society, in the 1920's. , Sanger found common cause with proponents of eugenics, believing that she and they both sought to "assist the race toward the elimination of the unfit."

    Planned Parenthood was not defunded today. The House merely voted to defund it. The Senate will almost certainly fail to pass that legislation. And rightfully so. It would be tragic if Planned Parenthood were defunded simply because a propaganda group released intentionally misleading videos.

    I had hoped Carly Fiorina would turn out to be one of the more reasonable Republican candidates for President, but her anti-abortion stance and especially her lying about (or perhaps merely misstating) the content of the anti-PP propaganda videos proves her to be just another Republican demagogue.

    And thankfully Obama care is in place. Women everywhere will be able to get free condoms and abortion referrals by their regular doctors! It is a grand day right up until the veto by the President.

    The Idea of letting women have freedom then is gone.

    But how corrupt planned parenthood was...or how righteous...is hard to say.

    Women need help to live their lives when pregnancy strikes.

    For many, it IS a disaster.

    Oh, excellent... more unwanted children for your Gaol System to deal with...

    Eventually.

    Even more of a drain on your resources than Planned Parenthood ever could be.

    I think the ANTI Choicer is a lot like a rapist... stay with me a moment.

    The ANTI Choicer would FORCE a woman to gestate against her will.

    The Rapist would FORCE a women to have sex against her will.

    Not a great deal of difference.

    The Bottom Line ... woman is Powerless.

    Sounds a lot Saudi-Afghanistan, huh?

    A horrible day for women everywhere. F*ck Republicans who don't know anything about what Planned Parenthood actually does and who think women don't deserve proper healthcare.

    We have to wait and make sure that the Senate also votes to defund. Then all true Christians can celebrate!

    i support planned parenthood with my own money, donations, and votes.

    good luck, social-conscience is more important; check the website, and get the facts.

    PP is a social program for the poor, for the community, just like obama care, and supports the lives of the social-community of women, children, and families.

    Hey, don't forget! planned parenthood is for men, too.
