It is entirely unacceptable that over $500 million dollars of taxpayer dollars go, without choice, to the\u00a0abortion giant every year. Every day, Planned Parenthood receives $1.4 million, and with those funds, the abortion corporation propels the greatest human rights injustice of our day \u2014 along with profiteering from the sale of aborted baby parts.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/plannedparenthoodexposed.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sign the petition to defund Planned Parenthood and keep your tax dollars from supporting the illegal trafficking of baby parts.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The news that Planned Parenthood is being investigated is promising. The abortion giant will now be forced to answer the questions it only dismisses with rhetoric. But in the course of time it takes to investigate Planned Parenthood, more babies will die and more baby parts can be shipped off to labs for research. Thus, Congress needs to suspend all funding of Planned Parenthood in light of these allegations.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first investigation on the abortion giant that shows Planned Parenthood&#8217;s\u00a0brutality against human life and contempt for rule of law.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/plannedparenthoodexposed.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">PlannedParenthoodExposed.com<\/a> details the many investigations Live Action has conducted, which further expose\u00a0the wrongdoing of this purported &#8220;women&#8217;s health care&#8221; organization.
