Congressmen Call for Defunding Planned Parenthood
As follow-up to a previous post which highlighted some of Planned Parenthood’s questionable behaviors, there is news today that Planned Parenthood is at it again. Teenwire.com, a website sponsored and run by Planned Parenthood, drew attention from Members of the Republican Study Committee when it was found to be actively promoting the use of pornography for teenagers as a way to circumvent sexual activity (according to Planned Parenthood). Three Republican Study Committee Members, Rep. Lamborn, Rep. King, and Rep. Pitts, are calling for the end of Planned Parenthood’s federal funding, according to this article. Chairman of the House Values Action Team, Rep. Pitts, is quoted in the article saying, "I don't believe taxpayer funding should be going to groups that put sexually explicit material on the Internet targeted at minors."
