There is no excuse whatsoever for a Republican to vote in favor of funding Planned Parenthood. If you’re not a social conservative, at the very least you should be fiscally conservative if you’ve been elected as a Republican.
(DC Examiner) — Even if you’re not a social conservative, funding for Planned Parenthood as a fiscal and a campaign finance issue. Currently, taxpayers are effectively subsidizing the Democratic Party. Planned Parenthood is a charity with plenty of donors. There’s no reason why taxpayers should have to support their favorite charity so that they can give more of their money to Democrats.
Ten Democrats had supported the Pence amendment, and that seven Republicans had voted against it. Now we have the names:
Now here are the Republicans who voted to preserve Planned Parenthood funding:
Charlie Bass, N.H.
Judy Biggert, Ill.
Mary Bono-Mack, Calif.

Robert Dold, Ill.
Richard Hanna, N.Y.
