Isakson, Perdue Introduce Legislation To Defund Planned Parenthood

Press Release

U.S. Senators Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., and David Perdue, R-Ga., along with 22 Senate Republicans, this week introduced legislation to defund Planned Parenthood. This legislation, S.1881, comes in light of the gruesome video footage detailing Planned Parenthood's role in the harvesting of the organs of unborn babies.

"The government should not be funding Planned Parenthood or any abortions in the first place," said Senator Isakson. "These videos that have come to light are incredibly disturbing, and we should launch an immediate investigation into this organization's abhorrent activities. I will continue to fight to ensure Planned Parenthood does not receive another dime from hardworking taxpayers."

"These gut-wrenching videos underscore the serious nature of the situation," said Senator Perdue. "As a parent, and now grandparent, I find these actions unthinkable. Planned Parenthood should not receive any federal funding, period. I will continue defending life and I join many Georgians and Americans in calling for an immediate investigation."
