The House Judiciary Committee today approved legislation that will put in place a complete ban on taxpayer funding of abortions that ensures abortions are not directly funded in any federal governmental program or department. The legislation combines several policies that must be enacted every year in Congressional battles and puts them into law where they will not be in jeopardy of being overturned every time Congress changes hands from pro-life lawmakers to those who support abortions.

Calls and e-mails needed to insure that money is redirected to legitimate health providers Topeka, KS - Kansas Gov. Mark Parkinson has indicated that he will act on the state budget by Friday. The budget contains an amendment that redirects tax money that once went to Planned Parenthood to hospitals and other legitimate health care clinics. Parkinson has described his abortion views as "very similar, if not completely similar" to former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' extremist abortion policies. The amendment passed both houses of the Legislature after its sponsor Sen. Tim Hueslkamp released an undercover audio recording of a phone call to Planned Parenthood where an illegal sexual relationship between a supposed 14-year old girl and a 23-year old man was ignored. The Planned Parenthood worker even told the girl that her adult boyfriend could pick up her birth control prescription for her. Such policies prey on innocent victims and then hand them back to their abusers with the ...

When Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius moved on to her new post as HHS Secretary with the Obama administration, she was replaced by Mark Parkinson , who appears to be picking up where the radical abortion advocate, Sebelius, left off. Gov. Mark Parkinson is expected to make his first decision about an abortion measure this week , when he takes up the Legislature’s budget-balancing bill. Parkinson has said his views on abortion are “very similar” to those held by former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, close friend and protector of late-term abortionist George Tiller. The state budget that had been approved by the Legislature and Sebelius earlier this year promised Planned Parenthood $250,000 in state funding for the 2010 fiscal year , but lawmakers had to amend that budget with a new bill when state revenue projections dropped. Now, p ro-death Planned Parenthood supporters are pushing the governor to veto the provision, while pro-lifers want the governor to leave the funding alone. I am...

Bill Clinton isn't the only Democrat having problems using his "intellect" lately. Melody Barnes, the pro-abortion White House Domestic Policy Council Director, sat down with David Brody of CBN News and said she didn't know whether Obama's plan will feature abortion. Barnes also didn't know if Obama would press for Congress to remove the numerous pro-life riders that limit taxpayer funding of abortions, such as the Hyde amendment. Isn't that odd that she would be in such a position and not be aware of any of these important issues? We know abortion is the top priority on Obama's agenda is and she has no idea? Give me a break, lady! Watch the videos on this interview here .

"This organization has now become a big box retailer; big abortion in other words. It is a big retailer and it brought in a billion dollars in revenues." "They are the Wal-Mart of Big Abortion." -- Rep. Michele Bachmann, Minnesota

A Christian group has launched a new campaign to educate American voters on the radical and extremist abortion policies of Senator Obama. The campaign entitled, "Barack Obama: The Abortion President," will focus on how Mr. Obama wants taxpayers to pay for abortions. The Christian Defense Coalition will have a news conference on Tuesday, July 8, at 11:00 A.M. to discuss this new campaign. The location of the news conference will be in front of Mr. Obama's senate office in the Hart Senate Office building on the Constitution Ave. NE entrance side. A major part of the news conference will center on the fact that Senator Obama wants people of faith, Catholics and Evangelicals, to pay for abortions through their tax dollars. The Chicago Tribune reported last year, when Senator Obama was "asked about his proposal for expanded access to health insurance, Obama said it would cover 'reproductive health services.' Contacted afterward, an Obama spokesperson said tha...
