Congress Must Defund Planned Parenthood Again

1 month ago

We will soon mark a full year of Planned Parenthood being defunded, but time is running out to ensure it stays that way. If Congress does not pass another defund by July 4, taxpayer funding will resume on the morning of Independence Day — the day we celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday. We cannot allow that to happen.
