State Representative Daryl Metcalfe (R-12), yesterday, May 23, introduced a bill that would prohibit Planned Parenthood and all other abortion-on-demand providers from receiving taxpayer funding.
Also supporting the Whole Woman’s Health Funding Priority Act are Representatives Kathy Rapp (R-65); Ryan Aument (R-41), Bryan Cutler (R-100) and Gordon Denlinger (R-88).
Hopefully, some of the more go-along-to-get-along types who claim to be pro life join them. The Republicans hold the majority in the state Senate and the House, along with the governor’s office so this should be a no-brainer. Given Harrisburg and money and favors, no-brainer does not mean done deal.
And for those out there who feel uncomfortable about “social issues” don’t think of cutting government spending as a “social issue”.
If we can’t defund the dubious services provided by Planned Parenthood — the benefits of which cannot be socially substantiated — what can we defund?
