The relevant part read:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">But Republicans in Congress are dead-set on rolling back the progress that Democrats like you and I have worked so hard to achieve&#8230; They want to completely defund Planned Parenthood, an organization that provides necessary health services to women across the country. And, if they don&#8217;t get their way, they&#8217;re just fine with shutting down the government&#8211;again!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I&#8217;m going to be frank: That pisses me off. As a woman, a mother, and a cancer survivor, I say that we can&#8217;t stand for this kind of irresponsible behavior&#8211;and it&#8217;s exactly what we&#8217;ll see more of if Republicans retain their majority in 2016. The American people deserve better.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The American people certainly do deserve better, which is why their hard earned tax dollars shouldn&#8217;t have to fund the largest abortion provider in the country. Even if such funds can&#8217;t legally go toward abortions, money is still fungible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.plannedparenthoodexposed.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-68636 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DefundAd-400b.jpg\" alt=\"DefundAd-400b\" width=\"400\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DefundAd-400b.jpg 400w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DefundAd-400b-300x128.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not as if\u00a0she&#8217;d be expected to do so in a fundraising e-mail, but Wasserman Schultz also fails to mention the reason <em>why<\/em> most Republicans, and some Democrats, want to defund Planned Parenthood at this point in time.\u00a0It&#8217;s not just that PP provides abortions (though that should be reason enough to cut off their federal funding) but that the organization has been racked with\u00a0scandal.<\/p>\n<p>The latest, fueled by videos from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centerformedicalprogress.org\/cmp\/investigative-footage\/\">The Center for Medical Progress<\/a> alleging that the abortion giant is illegally profiting from the sale of fetal parts from babies they abort, is only one example.<\/p>\n<p>Planned Parenthood has been caught<a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/monalisa\"> covering up statutory rape, <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/rosaacuna\/\">giving false or misleading medical advice,<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/traffick\">aiding and abetting sex traffickers, <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/the-planned-parenthood-racism-project\/\">accepting racist donations,<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/planned-parenthood-false-mammogram-claims\/\">lying about their services. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>These instances have been revealed by\u00a0projects just within the\u00a0last few years.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s not just Live Action investigating the abortion industry. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adfmedia.org\/News\/PRDetail\/9746\">Alliance Defending Freedom<\/a>\u00a0released a recent report showing that Planned Parenthood ignored the sexual abuse of minors, thus enabling their predators.<\/p>\n<p>Wasserman Schultz\u00a0and\u00a0other supporters of Planned Parenthood claim the abortion giant performs great services for women. But as it turns out, <a href=\"\/news\/abortion-inc-new-report-shows-how-planned-parenthood-used-taxpayer-dollars-to-become-the-abortion-giant\/\">those services have decreased<\/a>, while abortions have increased. They have also <a href=\"\/news\/planned-parenthood-lost-400000-clients-since-2006\/\">lost patients<\/a> over the years.<\/p>\n<p>As a cancer survivor, Wasserman Schultz deserves all our well-wishes and hope to remain cancer free. But the truth is that Planned Parenthood likely didn&#8217;t help her in that regard. They don&#8217;t provide mammograms, and despite how necessary and important cancer screenings may be, those services are among those that have been on the decline.<\/p>\n<p>Washerman Schultz&#8217;s\u00a0e-mail also addresses a government shutdown. Twenty-eight House members have<a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/finance\/252934-28-republicans-pledge-to-oppose-any-bill-funding-planned-parenthood\"> signed a letter<\/a> pledging to oppose any bill that funds Planned Parenthood. It&#8217;s not that they want a shutdown;\u00a0no one does. It&#8217;s that they don&#8217;t want another federal dollar to go to a scandal-ridden organization.\u00a0If President Obama and fellow pro-abortion politicians wanted to avoid a government shutdown, they could give a little. They could do more than sit and blame the other side.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not as if women&#8217;s health would be in jeopardy if Planned Parenthood were to be defunded. That\u00a0money would instead go to Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC)\u00a0which\u00a0provide truly comprehensive services, and do so regardless of a person&#8217;s\u00a0ability to pay. It has been <a href=\"\/news\/womens-health-care-will-thrive-when-planned-parenthood-is-defunded\/\">said<\/a>\u00a0that without Planned Parenthood, women&#8217;s health care would actually improve.<\/p>\n<p>Planned Parenthood has been plagued by so much scandal, for years. They&#8217;ve lost patients and they&#8217;ve broken the law. Why are we still funding them? If this were any other organization,\u00a0it is likely that there would be no debate. They would have been\u00a0defunded long ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz spent her Labor Day weekend sending out a fundraising e-mail.
