GOP Moves to Cut Off Funding for Planned Parenthood

And, of course, they're squealing like stuck pigs:

In a new Republican effort to cut off funding to Planned Parenthood, a new spending proposal announced Wednesday would strip away all Title X family planning funds for low-income individuals.

The seven-month continuing resolution offered by House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) would remove all $327 million from the Title X program as the GOP pushes a bill that would block such funding to Planned Parenthood and other groups that offer abortion services.

Planned Parenthood called it an "extreme proposal."

“Unbelievably, the House Leadership has set its sights on abolishing a program that provides lifesaving and preventive care to millions of women and saves taxpayers money by helping women plan their families," said Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

Title X funds cannot be used for abortion, but the House GOP is trying to choke off funding to groups that provide them as part of their "Pledge to America" promise to eliminate federal funding of abortion.

We can't afford it. Planned Parenthood has ridden the federal gravy train long enough. Time to stop.
