America's Heart Problem - Does It Still Exist
Over the last couple weeks several videos have been made public, giving video evidence that Planned Parenthood has been involved in selling the body parts of aborted babies for profit. Not only is this highly illegal, it is barbaric and unthinkable (Watch all the videos here).
After all this, our United State Senate put forth a bill that would have stopped our tax dollars funding Planned Parenthood. The bill was not, as some claimed, drastic or fringe. In reality it was quite mediocre. The bill did not shut down Planned Parenthood, it did not attempt to prosecute them, put them in jail, or stop them from continuing doing what they are doing. The bill was merely to stop sending your tax dollars to fund something that should be an outrage to any American.
CNN: “The vote was 53-46, meaning the measure failed the get the 60 votes needed to overcome a Democratic filibuster on bringing the bill up for debate.”
The bill didn’t even make it through the procedural vote.
What have we come to?
Is it that we are so deafened to violence? Seeing it everyday on our TVs and computer screens, from movies, to shows, to video games, to any other form of popular entertainment, it’s thrown at us everyday. Has this desensitized us to it? Have we convinced ourselves that since we see it on a screen it’s not real? What will it take? Must you physically pick up the severed arm of a murdered baby to believe this is happening? Must we hold the cold, deathly still heart of a child, who’s life was ended in the name of ‘choice’?
And I don’t even want to hear the argument that “abortions are only a small percentage of what Planned Parenthood does.” I don’t even want to hear it! If they killed one baby, if they sold the lifeless organs of only one innocent child, that should be more than enough to spark an outrage like we’ve never seen.

I dare you to watch those videos. If our President and his White House can act so swiftly to investigate the killing of Cecil the lion, why can he not be bothered to talk about the Planned Parenthood videos? If the death of one, silly, insignificant lion can become the number one trending topic on social media, garner over a million petitioning signatures, and make Jimmy Kimmel cry on national TV, why hasn't the heartless murder of innocent children managed to do the same?
Because we the people have not made it. Now is the time to end that. There is no reason this story isn't front and center of every person's news feed and Twitter stream except that you and I don't make it. So let’s make it.
There is a petition to stop taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood here. Please sign this petition and share the link.
America, please. Please prove to me that we still have a heart.
