Rand Paul on Planned Parenthood Expose: Black Communities ‘Horrified’

‘When I think of an ultrasound, I think of pictures of my kids before they’re born,’ not being used to harvest organs

PAUL: “It means I must be doing something right when the socialists and left-wingers and the mayor of New York's going after me. But you know, I'm horrified by these videos, and everybody is. When I think of ultrasound, I think of the pictures of my kids before they were born and the happiness we had. To imagine that doctors are using ultrasound to manipulate the body around, turn the body around to take body parts from a baby, it just -- it sickens me. And so I've been fighting to defund Planned Parenthood. I don't think they should get any taxpayer dollars. And we got good news today. We are going to get a vote on this. The Senate will vote on defunding Planned Parenthood before we leave in August.”

HANNITY: “And will it be a 51 majority, or do you need to get cloture?”

PAUL: “Because of the way the Senate rules are, you always have to get to 60. You almost never can do 50. And so we'll have to get to a 60-vote margin. We're going to try to get -- keep the Republicans together. And there's at least three or four Democrats that we think we have a chance of getting. That gets us close. We're up to about 58 then. So we're going to work very hard. I think there are some pro-choice Democrats -- there are many pro-choice Americans who are horrified by this because they don't think of abortion as turning the baby around and harvesting baby parts and showing kidneys and livers and lungs and hearts that are then being resold. The gruesomeness of this cannot be overstated. And I think we may well get some Democrats who are going to say, Enough is enough, we can't keep funding a group that does this.”
