NARAL Pro-Choice America on Fifth Vote to Defund Planned Parenthood in Two Months

Statement from Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America:

"Here we go again. Another day, another vote to defund Planned Parenthood. Rinse and repeat. There is only one word to describe anti-choice Republicans' attempt to end legal abortion in this country at this point: obsessed. It would be sad if it wasn't so dangerous. Vote after vote after vote. Thankfully, none of these bills will become law but they are a clear and unquestionable statement on the Republican-led Congress' priorities."
