Pray that Planned Parenthood funding will be cut by our congressional leaders—our future children’s lives depend upon this. Thank God for Rand Paul’s courage to push Congress to stop funding Planned Parenthood. Pray for him and share your prayer for him HERE.
Did not he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers? (Job 31:15)
By a vote of 45 to 48, Rand Paul’s amendment was rejected. It would have barred Planned Parenthood and other abortion outlets from receiving federal funding.
The Kentucky senator late last week signaled that he would offer an amendment to the appropriations bill funding the departments of Labor and Health and Human Services, the relevant legislative vehicle for the Planned Parenthood funding ban.
Paul said in a statement that his effort was being blocked by leadership, but they rejected that claim and he did get a vote Thursday.
President Trump has proposed cutting funds to Planned Parenthood. The agency gets federal funds for its women’s health care but not abortion, though polls suggest that Republicans want the money train ended because it does abortion or refers to others that do.
A recent McLaughlin & Associates survey found that a plurality — 48 percent — support cutting funds.
In a statement announcing his amendment, Paul said, “One of the top priorities for a Republican Congress that professes pro-life values on the campaign trail should be to stop taxpayer funding for abortion providers.” He added, “This is our chance to turn our words into action, stand up for the sanctity of life, and speak out for the most innocent among us that have no voice.”
The language is similar to what the House passed in July. It would still allow funding for women’s health providers not involved in abortion.
LifeSiteNews.com reported that Planned Parenthood received more than $543 million in fiscal year 2016-2017. The site added, “It is forbidden from spending that money directly on most abortions, but pro-lifers warn that subsidies earmarked for non-abortion purposes ultimately enable abortion groups to commit more abortions by freeing up money from their other revenue services. Duke University healthcare analyst Chris Conover estimates that taxpayers end up covering almost 25 percent of all abortion costs.” (Excerpts from Paul Bedard article in the Washington Examiner)

Father, thank you for giving Rand Paul an extraordinary spirit to fight the good fight of faith and to defend those who cannot defend themselves. Lord your faithfulness is a shield around him and Your blood covers him. Thank you Lord for raising him up for such a time as this to slay the Goliath plant parenthood. For Planned Parenthood has defied the Living GOD. And, we pull down this Spirit of Jezebel, murder and death from our nation.
To God be the glory and all praise! In God we trust in America.
Thank you for thinking of praying the Aaronic benediction over Rand. Amen Again!
Heavenly Father, I thank you for my brother in Messiah, Rand Paul and his stands for life, liberty, mercy, and justice. Continue to protect and strengthen him as he stands for our founding principles and our brothers and sisters overseas. You have shown your hand is protecting him: from the attack at the Congressional baseball game, to the attack on him mowing his lawn, from the corona virus and now another incident. Protect your own, strengthen and uphold him, and protect his family, too.
Lord God, thank you for Rand Paul. Make the crooked roads straight before him and bless the works of his hands as he stands for the innocent who are slaughtered in our country. Lord please remove this huge burden from your people, for we know our tax dollars indirectly go to abortion. We are oppressed by this and ask you to take this from us, as we intercede for the little ones lives and the life of their mothers. In Jesus name, Amen
Senator Rand Paul, I thank you for fighting this fight. It is wrong for taxpayers to have their money going to fund any abortions. I’m appalled your proposal did not pass. Please keep the fight going and may God lead you in this battle.
I pray for ended of abortion. I am a believer and trust that God will helping us to fight for human life. I do work in labor delivery and I feel greatfull to participate of the miracles of new born. I pray with all of you in Jesus name.
Thank you, Senator Paul, for pursuing life & safety on behalf of the unborn. May the Lord bless you & keep & shine His face upon you & be gracious to you. Dont give up the good fight! Praying for your continued strength & courage. Many blessings.
Today is august 29 this morning I call senator Kaine and Warner about this very thing not knowing that a vote was going on. I am sorry to hear it did not pass but I thank you for pushing, PLEASE don’t give up. Standing With You!
According to Matthew 18:19, I set myself in agreement with Rolanda’s prayer. Convict the Senators and Representatives to do what us right and stop using taxpayer’s money to pay for sin. Favor on Senator Rand, peace and protection for him and others who go against the mainstream. In Jesus Name I ask these things. Amen.
Oh man of God be thou strengthened by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Lord thy God is with you, he is the glory and lifter of your head. I pray that you persevere and continue to fight the good fight of faith in JESUS Holy Name. Amen.
