RedState: House Freedom Caucus draws a line in the sand: No funding for PP. Beginning of the end for Boehner?

There was one really good piece of news from Capitol Hill yesterday.

 

The House Freedom caucus adopted an official position (meaning it was supported by at least 80% of the members) that they will oppose ANY spending measure that includes funding for Planned Parenthood.

 

“Any spending measure” includes a CR, which appears to be House leadership’s plan of choice to fund the government and avoid a shutdown.

 

This means that Boehner can only pass a CR ( which would include funding for PP) with the support of Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) 16% and House Democrats; who would likely exact several pounds of flesh for doing so.

University of Oregon Professor Calls Female Pro-life Rep a ‘Misogynist Liar'

Rep. Diane Black (R-TN) is a former nurse and a staunch pro-life advocate. As you can imagine, she is not a fan of Planned Parenthood. She authored the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2015, which would place a moratorium on taxpayer funding for the organization for a year until a congressional investigation is complete. On Friday, House leadership announced they would bring the bill up for a vote next week.

 

Black discussed her legislation while appearing as a guest on Tamron Hall’s MSNBC program “NewsNation” earlier this week. She explained that the effort was prompted by the Center for Medical Progress’s three-year investigation into Planned Parenthood, before urging Hall and her viewers to “watch the films” for themselves.

 

 

 

University of Oregon Professor David Fowler was not impressed with Black’s pro-life agenda. In a personal attack against the legislator on Twitter, he posted the following hateful message:

 

@obrienc2 @RepDianeBlack You are a twisted, sickening misogynist liar. You should be ashamed of yourself and the harm you do to women Diane
