New Hampshire Cancels $650,000 in Planned Parenthood Funding After It Sells Aborted Babies

Steven Ertelt   Aug 5, 2015   |   2:01PM    Concord, NH

New Hampshire has become the second state to cancel state taxpayer funding for the Planned Parenthood abortion business after multiple expose’ videos have caught the abortion business selling the body parts of aborted babies. The Granite State follows Louisiana, where pro-life Governor Bobby Jindal made the decision to cancel Medicaid funding to the abortion company.


In New Hampshire, the Republican-led Executive Council has rejected roughly $650,000 in state taxpayer funding for the abortion company. The move follows Senate Democrats defeating a bill to de-fund Planned Parenthood.

A local news report indicated, “GOP councilor Chris Sununu, who has supported Planned Parenthood in the past, voted against the contract, saying the state should be investigating the practices of Planned Parenthood of Northern New England.”

“This vote eliminates about a third of Planned Parenthood’s funding, as it also receives money through federal contract,” the report continued.

Defunding Planned Parenthood: A False Political Narrative
Original | Carla Leonard (23, Youth Perspective)
Published August 5, 2015 08:00PM EDT

The GOP has been going after yet another hot-button issue lately. This time, they are threatening to shut down the government again this fall if President Barack Obama doesn't defund Planned Parenthood. Their first attempt to defund Planned Parenthood failed in the Senate on Monday, so why are they continuing with this? Because it fires up their most passionate voters, with just a year to go before the next presidential election.

Staging A False Narrative
The main impetus behind the defunding position lies behind a series of undercover videos that claim that Planned Parenthood executives are allegedly selling fetal baby parts for research. Even though the staged and misleadingly edited videos have been debunked repeatedly, that hasn't stopped the GOP from pushing this strawman argument. Heck, Jeb Bush said that the $500 million funding for PP should be used for other things besides "women's health issues" - which was monumentally stupid even by the standards of his brother and father. Also, several of the senators who are so adamantly against using fetal body parts for research, including Mitch McConnell, voted FOR the law that allows it, back in 1993. Now they are trying to rewrite that history 20 years later.

Not Just Abortion
If this funding had ceased, it would have hurt many women, most of whom are from poorer areas that can't see doctors even with Obamacare. Planned Parenthood acts as a center where they can get important tests like pap smears and other tests for low-to-no cost. It can be a literal lifesaver. The Republicans also ignore the fact that abortions play a very, very small percent of what Planned Parenthood does. Then again, the men from the GOP -- the sort of men who have publicly said such astounding things like "women who are raped can't get pregnant" -- don't seem to care about details like that. Sure, Democrats may not speak the truth all the time either, but the Republicans are especially skilled at creating contentiously illogical arguments. Once again, they're trying to put women into the background and take away their choices.

Republicans Being Republicans
This is a political party that has been waging a war on women's rights for years. The ironic thing is that they talk about the sanctity of life before the baby is born, but forget about it once it is, making cuts on things like welfare. They may claim that that is to make people pull themselves up by the bootstraps and find work, but many members of this party are independently wealthy. The real kicker? In the videotape that they held up to bolster their argument, Planned Parenthood was doing nothing illegal. Ultimately, what it all boils down to is that the GOP is once again trying to tell women how to live their lives through the party's own rigid belief systems. It's ironic that they can attempt this while screaming about getting big government out of people's lives. It's high time that they looked up the words 'cognitive dissonance" in the dictionary. Then again, they tend to shun anything scientific to begin with.

The Slaughter of Babies
By Andrew P. Napolitano
August 6, 2015


The recent broadcast of videotapes taken of persons employed at Planned Parenthood — the prolific and notorious abortion provider — has brought the issue of abortion to the national consciousness again and front and center to the Republican presidential primary campaign. The tapes were made secretly by a pro-life group determined to show to the world the dark side of Planned Parenthood’s use of federal funds.

What the world saw was terrifying and damning. The tapes are difficult to watch, just as any discussion of human slaughter is difficult to watch. If you have seen these tapes, you witnessed physicians and others talking about the profits Planned Parenthood is making in the sale of baby body parts, even though such sales are criminal under federal law.

The cavalier demeanor of those who profit from this slaughter is chilling, and the moral punch in the nose to the Democratic Party is excruciating. That’s because Planned Parenthood is virtually a branch of the Democratic Party. It has a lock on the federal treasury to the tune of $500 million per year. It pays for or performs more than 325,000 abortions a year, which is about one-third of all abortions in America. It contributes heavily to the campaigns of Democratic office seekers. You can see the cycle.

Even though federal law has prohibited the use of federal funds for abortions for nearly 18 years, money is fungible. The Planned Parenthood folks may be baby killers, but they are not dumb. They know how to dedicate federal funds for maternal health and free up maternal health funds for the slaughter of babies — and make it all look legal.

The reason these tapes are so upsetting to the Democrats, and to some Republicans as well, is that they have convinced themselves that the fetus in the womb is not a person. Yet, watching their abortionists graphically discuss the monetary value of body parts and the physical manipulation of fully formed babies so as to maximize the harvesting of their organs ironically humanizes the body parts and the babies from which the parts came, and is thus so upsetting to those who deny fetal personhood.

But this is more than upsetting — it seriously challenges the underlying commitment of today’s Democratic Party that the fetus is not a person. This is, of course, the central holding of the Supreme Court’s 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade. Just as in Dred Scott v. Sandford, wherein the court held in 1857 that African-Americans were not persons, so did Roe v. Wade make that holding for fetuses.

And the stated reason for the holding was the absence of consensus in 1973 among philosophers, physicians, theologians and scientists about when life begins. Yet, the duty of the court is to say what the Constitution means, not to count noses. Roe is the only Supreme Court decision in history grounded on the absence of discernible consensus among the populace.

Is the fetus in the womb a person? Before answering this, consider the depravity to which we have sunk due to its legal non-personhood. The slaughter of babies, some where it is legal in their ninth month of gestation, the sale of their body parts, and the taxpayer financing of this have become so morose that even their staunchest supporters cannot confront these realities publicly for fear of losing political support.

Is the fetus in the womb a person? Before answering this, consider the danger of a Supreme Court possessing the power to declare any human offspring to be a non-person. Two months ago, we witnessed the spectacle of the court finding four plain English words — “established by the States” — to be ambiguous and, 21 pages later, telling us that legally those words do not mean what they say. If the court can change the meaning of ordinary words, can it change the meaning of life?

It has.

Is the fetus in the womb a person? Of course it is. It has two fully human parents and the fully actualizable human genome to achieve post-natal existence. The single-cell zygote in the mother’s womb came from her flesh and cannot be anything but a human person. For 600 years, the law has permitted the fetus in the womb to inherit property. How could that be if the fetus were not a human person? If you kill a pregnant woman and the fetus dies, you can be charged with the murder of two persons. If the reason for government in the first place is to protect rights, the government’s prime obligation is to protect the rights of persons to live.

The Democrats are not alone at fault here. In the first six years of the presidency of George W. Bush, when the Republicans controlled the White House and the Congress, numerous efforts were made to introduce a simple one-line statute: “The fetus in the womb shall be, for all constitutional and legal purposes, a person.” Republican congressional leaders kept all such proposals from being voted upon.

But seeing is believing. The tapes are the abortionists’ nightmare, because in their wanton slaughter they have let slip the utter humanity of their victims. And the souls of the Holy Innocents who have been slaughtered before drawing their first breaths are no doubt praying for the conversion of the hearts and the salvation of the souls of those who killed them.

NIH, FDA tied to fetal tissue firm

Quoted Text

But the firm’s relationship with the women’s health organization, and its contracts since 2009 with the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration, have shed light on the government’s involvement in the little-known world of fetal tissue procurement. Those practices have come under scrutiny since the release of undercover videos accusing Planned Parenthood of profiting from fetal tissue sales.

Quoted from CICERO

So you're back to saying the video is a hoax and that planned parenthood doesn't dissect and sift through human fetal tissue to harvest the specific organs requested by research companies, in return for a handling fee or "reimbursement"?

Quoted from BuckStrider

I'll bet Boxy just freaks out when he watches local news reports. I'm sure he's on the phone everyday bitching about how edited those reports are and that he demands that the raw footage be shown.

In 2001, just two years into his governorship, Bush cut over $300,000 from
women’s health services through PP. That money he cut had been provided each year
to Planned Parenthood for more than a decade. Here’s what the state got in return for $300k:

By 2014, the Center for Reproductive Rights released an evaluation that showed Florida
tied with Arkansas and Oklahoma for the worst state for a women’s well-being.
The uninsured rate for women ballooned to 25%, coming in second to Texas.
Approximately 20% of women are found to be in fair, poor or ill health. Florida ranks 13th
in that category out of all states and territories.
Approximately 20% of women do not have access to a personal doctor, physician, or
general healthcare provider, three percentage points higher than the national average.
Florida ranks 46th in the number of women who have had a pap smear in the last 3 years.
Twenty-three of Florida’s 67 counties lack an OB-GYN, based on a 2014 survey
By 2030, demand for women’s healthcare providers will fall 18% short while the female
population will increase by 50%
In most parts of Florida, women must travel more than an hour just to see a doctor
