GOP Congressman bought and paid for.

Only GOP Congressman Supporting Hillary Took Thousands From Planned Parenthood


Republican New York Rep. Richard Hanna, who announced Tuesday he would be breaking ranks this November and voting for Hillary Clinton, has a lengthy history of siding against his party and standing with with one of Clinton’s staunchest allies — Planned Parenthood.Joint Economic Committee members Rep.

Planned Parenthood donated thousands of dollars to Hanna’s campaigns in 2012 — when he was one of three Republicans in Congress to accept money from the organization — and in 2014, when he was the only Republican in Congress funded by Planned Parenthood.
Hanna, whose office has yet to return a request for comment, has consistently opposed Republican legislation that would regulate abortion — even in instances where public opinion supports such regulation — and has repeatedly fought against efforts to defund Planned Parenthood.
This past September, he was one of just three Republicans who voted to continue funding the organization. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has vowed to strip Planned Parenthood of all taxpayer funding if elected.
