House Voted to Strip Planned Parenthood Funding

Points of interest on this historic 240-185 vote:
  • Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ) read aloud a passage from 'Unplanned' - the bestselling book by former Planned Parenthood Director Abby Johnson about her conversion during a 40 Days for Life campaign
  • Following graphic details given by Chris Smith about the abortion procedure, a personal speech was made by Jackie Speier (D-CA) detailing her abortion experience and registering disagreement with the amendment.  
  • ABC's article was one-sided (surprised?), only talking about the vote as an anti-choice agenda
  • Planned Parenthood is America's largest abortion chain and debate lasted more than 2 hours in the House
  • The amendment next goes through the Senate
