House considered the Pence amendment to defund Planned Parenthood

To: Friends of RNC/Life:

This was a useful exercise. The Republicans who voted against the Pence Amendment are listed below and should be among those targeted for a primary challenge in the 2010 Congressional election cycle.

If these Members represent you, please remember this vote along with others that do not reflect the values expressed in the Republican National Platform.

We appreciate the Democrats who voted for the amendment and hope this vote is an indication of their opposition to the pro-abortion Obama health care plan.

The roll call vote is available here.
