Good News: GAO Accepts Request to Investigate Planned Parenthood Funding

[Geee]

Townhall:

Last month, over 120 members of Congress issued a request to the Government Accountability Office to investigate the federal dollars being doled out to Planned Parenthood every year. The effort was spearheaded by Reps. Diane Black (R-TN) and Pete Olsen (R-TX), along with Sen. David Vitter (R-LA).

 

Specifically, the legislators wanted to know how the funds were made available and the federal agencies associated with them. The lawmakers are entitled to this information, they insisted, since the Obama White House has often claimed to be open and transparent. Thankfully, they didn’t have to put up much of a fight. The GAO complied, noting how the legislators' request was “within its authority.”

 

 

Over a half billion dollars is saved for Planned Parenthood annually. This should make any pro-lifer shudder. The organization claims to be all about women’s health care, but it can’t gloss over the fact it performs over 300,000 abortions a year. Our government is rewarding this with millions of dollars in resources?
