Following the release of videos seeming to reveal the sale of organs from aborted babies at Planned Parenthood clinics, Congressman Dan Benishek has helped author legislation to completely prevent any taxpayer resources from going to the abortion provider.
The Defund Planned Parenthood Act would immediately halt all sources of Federal funding for Planned Parenthood, and is currently co-sponsored by 124 Members in Congress.
In addition to this legislation, Benishek has co-signed a letter to the Department of Justice requesting that they look into the claims of illegal organ sales.
He has also backed a House investigation led by the Energy and Commerce Committee, as well as several other pieces of legislation to prevent tax dollars from funding any abortions.
It’s not clear what, if any, action will be taken against Planned Parenthood.
