Pence Amendment Passes In US House

The Pence Amendment to defund Planned Parenthood has just passed in the US House of Representatives in a vote of 240 – 185.

Rep. Mike Pence (R – Indiana) said after the vote:

This afternoon’s vote is a victory for taxpayers and a victory for life. By banning federal funding to Planned Parenthood, Congress has taken a stand for millions of Americans who believe their tax dollars should not be used to subsidize the largest abortion provider in America.”

Though the measure passed in the House, it still has to pass in the Democrat-controlled Senate in order to become law.
