Tom Price R-GA says PP is illegally funding abortions "absolutely".

[TacticalPeek]

On CNN this afternoon:


(T.J.) HOLMES: What is your problem? You said of course you have a problem. What is your problem with that money going towards what Democrats say at least an organization that provides so many health services for lower-income women?

(TOM) PRICE: Well, what the vast majority of the American people believe is that it's not appropriate to use taxpayer money to fund abortion services.

(CROSSTALK)

HOLMES: OK. We all agree. Yes, that's illegal. And we know that. But are you saying that Planned Parenthood is doing something illegal with the money they are getting from the federal government? Because their money, they say, and the federal government says is not going towards abortions.

PRICE: Well, I think they're being disingenuous when they say that. Everybody knows that that's one of the primary purposes of the organization.

So, what we will fight on, whether it's on this or another must- pass bill, is to make certain, as we did on H.R.-1, as we did on the first deficit bill, first spending bill, is to make certain that we don't fund Planned Parenthood.

But this battle right now is about spending. And what we want to do is save the most amount of money for the American people.

HOLMES: All right.

And, sir, I hate to {belabor} this point, but it's so important to make sure we get answers from you guys, because you're saying the American people know. Yes, we know that Planned Parenthood does provide abortion. But this is now a big part of this debate here.

So, we're trying to hear from you all -- well, what is your -- is the problem exactly? And you won't go as far as saying that federal money is being used for abortion.

PRICE: I think it is. I think we've said that.

HOLMES: You think Planned Parenthood is using federal money to fund abortions?

PRICE: I do. Absolutely.

2. I saw that interview. I couldn't believe (well, yes I could that he just lied so plainly

when he just dismissed the facts by saying, "Well, I think they're being disingenuous when they say that (the federal government says no funding is going towards abortions). Everybody knows that that's one of the primary purposes of the organization." :eyes:
