June 14, 2017 (LifeIssues) -- A battle is brewing in the U.S. Senate over funding of Planned Parenthood.
This is the opportunity for pro-life Republican leadership to deliver on past promises to protect unborn babies and women.  Will they?

The Senate is considering whether or not to fund Planned Parenthood with your tax dollars in the reconciliation bill. This legislation requires only a majority vote because it’s not subject to a Senate filibuster, but a reconciliation bill limits the Senate’s actions to measures related to the budget.
The legislation passed in the House of Representatives stops for one year Medicaid reimbursement to Planned Parenthood, which accounts for about 85 percent of their tax funding of $555-million dollars.

If pro-life senators fail to act on our highest legislative priority, they will impose a self-inflicted wound on the prospects of their re-election and maintaining a majority in the House and Senate.
Contact your senators. Regardless of where they stand on funding Planned Parenthood, they need to hear from you. We’ve made it easy for you to help defend the babies.

Scalise was one of four people shot while at a practice baseball game in Alexandria, Virginia, shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday. The shooting suspect, James Hodgkinson, was killed by police. Scalise was shot in the hip and several Capitol police officers were also victims of the shooting.
