LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Defund Planned Parenthood

What will it take for Congress finally to defund Planned Parenthood for repeated violations of state laws (“Planned Parenthood’s missing millions,” Opinion, June 21)?

Recall how the community-organizing group ACORN was hammered in the media after it got caught red-handed urging illegality in several undercover videos? I’m left wondering where similar outrage is over the handful of undercover videos (most recently in Indiana) showing this baby-killing giant coaching clients on how to break laws and circumvent parental-consent laws.

Has nobody in Congress seen the undercover videos produced by the pro-life group Live Action? Memo to pro-life members in Congress: It’s time to come forward and lead the defunding of Planned Parenthood. The evidence against the group is overwhelming. You have no excuse to let this slide if you really are pro-life - and not just so for political expediency.
