This is on top of the full annual funding passed in February. Basically, the two together come close to doubling what PP receives.

Planned Parenthood receives approximately $500 million in taxpayer funding every year through Medicaid and Title X grants for family planning.
President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans broke their promise to conservative voters by including funding for Planned Parenthood, which receives approximately $500 million in taxpayer funding each year, in the omnibus bill that Trump signed into law on Friday.....

This references the February budget that fully funds Planned Parenthood.

So, one posts in the Life News thread when there is a chance to lash out at the President or did one never notice this area before?

Of course we won't hear much about the GOP-ers who voted for that in Feb. like Senator Cruz will we.  :whistle:

Or that basically, all 3 of the last Presidents funded it, hard to find figures for the early '90s.



So, seeing how past presidents funded it, I think it somewhat cancels out just heaving this on Trump.

 @TomSea

How many past presidents promised to get rid of the Planned Parenthood funding? 

This is the part that really bugs me.  Sure, others let this funding go on. But Trump specifically promised to end that funding. 

One stroke of the pen and Trump broke his promise. He lied to you and everyone else who voted for him. 

You call him the most conservative president. One stroke of a pen proved you wrong.

Long past time for Trump supporters to stop making excuses for him and admit that he is not what they thought he was. Trump is a liar and a thief just like the rest of DC.

Trump has already done more for pro-lifers than any president.

Also, Ryan/Trump tried to fully defund Planned Parenthood but the Senate did not pass that bill.

The whiners totally avoid the fact, their chosen senator voted for the budget earlier this year to fund Planned Parenthood.

People expect Trump to take all flack, have a magic wand, their arguments are dishonest, none of the pro-life websites or leaders criticize Trump on this, just the whiners who have to lash out at any straw they can grasp, with them, we'd still have ISIS running rampant and no chance at bringing the North Korea situation under control. They are not worth listening to.

Also, Bush, Clinton, Obama all funded planned parenthood, folks trying to point this out, again, just are lame and whiney when they want to sock it to Trump on this topic.

@TomSea
BUT, Did Bush, Clinton and Obama all SAY they weren’t going to fund PP?  That is why it’s being stuck to Trump

Trump Ryan had it all ready to defund Planned Parenthood but the Senate balked, it's of no use to listen to the whiners who seem to make their pro-life support known only when they can jump on Trump.

The Executive branch has already taken concrete steps for the pro-life cause.

When Senator Cruz voted for the budget earlier this year funding Planned Parenthood, somehow, the negative comments are not heard then.

Respectfully, I did not hear a word when Trump gave states the right to defund Planned Parenthood as states, with the nomination of Neil Gorsuch or when defunding International Planned Parenthood but now, we hear these complaints. Unbelievable.

I agree with you, getting rid of ISIS and North Korea is worth funding PP... twice.
