Pope Speaks: Planned Parenthood Could be Defunded

You do know that only three percent of Planned Parenthood procedures are abortions and NO federal funds are involved? You do know that, right? Let's defund this organization at the sacrifice of the other 97 percent of their work for men & women.

Sounds reasonable, but please explain the defunding of Planned Parenthood to me.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced Tuesday the Senate will vote to redirect Planned Parenthood funding to community health centers and fund the government until Dec. 11.

This sets up a vote for Thursday, the same day Pope Francis speaks to a joint session of Congress.

If you should lose your access to healthcare because of Planned Parenthood is defunded, here is the list of providers that will be receiving that money:
