Planned Parenthood is responsible for the deaths of 320,000 preborn human infants every year. They have been repeatedly videotaped admitting that they sell portions of these babies on a massive scale. Even so, President Obama is unmoved and vetoed legislation that would have defunded this depraved organization.

The measure would have shifted Planned Parenthood’s public subsidies to comprehensive health care clinics that offer more health services and outnumber the abortion giant 20 to 1.
"H.R. 3762, which included efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, is the first bill to pass both houses of Congress and make it to the president’s desk.
