"This is our chance to turn our words into action"

Another dead-on-arrival motion to defund abortion conglomerate Planned Parenthood has been introduced by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) as an amendment to the Senate appropriations package for Defense, Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education.

In a statement last Friday, Sen. Paul called on Congress to halt the scourge of taxpayer-funded abortions, reminding the GOP to stick to their pro-life values.

Still, I am cynical that anything will work, but I admire anyone who tries.

Why?

My guess?  Because the house pubs have no balls.

He's done this before, I double-checked the date but it seems he did something similar about 3 years ago.

Why?

Neither McConnell nor Ryan are going to touch this in an election year.  (IMO)
