Rand Paul calls on Hillary Clinton to refund Planned Parenthood donations

At an anti-abortion rally on Capitol Hill, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) called on the Democratic presidential frontrunner to refund any donations from Planned Parenthood.

"Hillary Clinton's hands are stained by accepting this money," said Paul, who says he has been guaranteed a vote to ban any taxpayer funding for the family planning group. (It currently receives funding that is prohibited from being used for abortion.) "She needs to immediately return every red cent she has received from Planned Parenthood employees."

In a statement, Paul cited research from the Washington Free Beacon to back up his five-digit Clinton cash figure. In an interview, Paul said that he was doing exactly what Republicans had been subjected to for years.

"She’s gotten over $10,000 in Planned Parenthood donations that we can find," Paul said. "My guess is that if you add up donations from people who are employed by Planned Parenthood, you'd find even more. The ones we found are prominent donors. This happens all the time on the right, where some unsavory organization gives money, and everyone says: Give it back. She ought to be asked whether she’s going to do that."

Paul told The Washington Post yesterday that he had been assured a vote on his defunding bill. That would be a large step forward for the anti-abortion cause, which has seen the defunding provision stall in the House and kept out of must-pass bills. Still, Paul was not ready to predict that his bill would get the 60 votes required for cloture.

Carson, Cruz and Paul rally against Planned Parenthood

Sen. Ted Cruz called on the Department of Justice to open a criminal investigation into the people who appear in undercover videos of Planned Parenthood officials discussing fetal tissue donation.

Cruz was speaking at an anti-abortion rally organized by Students for Life of America on Tuesday, just after activists released their third undercover video of Planned Parenthood officials discussing fetal body parts in graphic detail.

“How sad is it that almost no media observer thinks there is any chance the U.S. Department of Justice would actually investigate whether Planned Parenthood and these senior officials have violated federal criminal laws?” Cruz said. “Today, the Obama Justice Department is operating as little more than a partisan arm of the Democratic national party.”

Cruz was one of three presidential candidates, along with Sen. Rand Paul and Dr. Ben Carson, who spoke at the event.

Paul announced that the Senate would vote to defund Planned Parenthood before August recess, though he did not give an exact date. Planned Parenthood, which receives more than $500 million each year in government funding, has denied any wrongdoing.

She might need every penny for her sorry self now, especially once/if Biden enters into the picture.

Funny. That's about as likely as a bill blocking funding to Planned Parenthood passing the Senate.
