More Abortion Lies from Baron Hill

Baron's Over the HillHill on the Hill notes a vote by Baron against an amendment, offered by Mike Pence (R, IN-6) to strip funding from Planned Parenthood from an appropriations bill currently being considered by the House of Representatives.

For the record, this was House Roll Call #684.

The amendment (H.AMDT.594, to amend H.R. 3043) was specifically titled:

An amendment numbered 67 printed in the Congressional Record to prohibit use of funds in the bill for Planned Parenthood.

Baron Hill, as stated, voted not only for the main bill (Roll Call #686) sending the money to Planned Parenthood, but he also voted against taking it out of the bill.

These two votes come on the heels of a vote by Baron Hill (blogged about here and criticized by Indiana Right to Life here) to end the so-called Mexico City Policy, which prohibits the use of American aid money to fund international aid groups that perform abortions.

Those votes don't reflect Hoosier values, Baron.
