Yesterday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) released a
statement regarding legislation that would defund Planned Parenthood after videos surfaced showing
their top executives negotiating the sale of body parts from aborted babies.
However, his remarks sounded more like Planned Parenthood’s talking points than
his own words.
Sen. Sanders said, “The attempt by
Senate Republicans to cut off support for Planned Parenthood is an attack on
women’s health. Stripping funding for Planned Parenthood would punish the 2.7
million Americans, especially low-income women, who rely on its clinics for
affordable, quality health care services including cancer prevention, STI and
HIV testing and general primary health care services.”
He concluded, “The current attempt to discredit Planned
Parenthood is part of a long-term smear campaign by people who want to deny
women in this country the right to control their own bodies.”
Sen. Sanders also told CNN Politics that Cecile Richards’ “apology” for the first Planned Parenthood video
was right on target. He said, “Obviously, I think Cecile Richards apologized
for the tone of that video. I think her apology was exactly right. I think that
the staffer, the tone was terribly wrong.”
In a video message, Planned Parenthood
President Cecile Richards said she’s sorry for her employee’s tone but that
they do not profit from selling aborted babies. Richards was referring to
Medical Director, Dr. Deborah Nucatola’s comments when she describes how she
kills a baby if she wants to obtain salable organs for harvesting. She said,
“We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so
I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush
above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact.”
As LifeNews previously
reported, Sen. Sanders is extreme on abortion and has a six-percent
pro-life voting record according to National Right to Life. In the past, he’s
opposed the partial birth abortion ban and supported President Obama’s radical
abortion agenda. Unfortunately, Sen. Sanders is also running for President.
In April, Sen. Sanders officially launched his campaign
against pro-abortion Hillary Clinton. He told the Associated Press, “People
should not underestimate me. I’ve run outside of the two-party system,
defeating Democrats and Republicans, taking on big-money candidates and, you
know, I think the message that has resonated in Vermont is a message that can
resonate all over this country. So to me, the question is whose views come
closer to representing the vast majority of working people in this country. And
you know what? I think my views do.”
If we are serious about moving legislation forward that
will defund Planned Parenthood and end late in America, pro-lifers must work really
hard to ensure that neither Sen. Sanders nor Hillary Clinton win the presidency
in 2016.
After negotiations between pro-life members of the
Senate, a new bill has been introduced
that will totally de-fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business.
The legislation follows three shocking videos that
have caught Planned Parenthood doctors discussing and arranging the sale of
body parts of aborted babies.
