Discusses religious liberty by business owners

0:15

that earlier today I talk to senator paul abouts

0:18

vote on Planned Parenthood and more

0:22

watch Senator Rand Paul thank you for your time this morning welcome back to

0:26

America's newsroom

0:27

now you go to a backup plan

0:30

what is it of always voted to defund Planned Parenthood will continue to do

0:36

so

0:37

I think the power of the purse is something we should use in fact that's a

0:40

congressional prerogatives

0:41

and the problem is we haven't really tried hard enough sake pressing on will

0:46

try to

0:47

attach it to appropriation bills the thing is is that

0:50

it is the responsibility is not unusual for Congress to give rules to the

0:54

president how to spend money

0:55

that's what we're supposed to do would you shut down the government over this

0:59

if it comes back in the fall why I think that's a matter of perspective

1:03

I don't want to shut down the government but I do want to give instructions to

1:06

the President on how to spend money not just on Planned Parenthood but on a

1:09

thousand different items

1:10

I don't wanna fun still Obamacare I still don't wanna find

1:14

all the massive regulations that he's putting for to really the choices is the

1:18

president willing to shut down government

1:20

but there's a lot of other complicated factors which side can we get anything

1:24

out of the senate to get anything out a senate require six Democrats to vote for

1:28

it

1:28

so far this democrats are stonewalling every appropriation bills

1:32

it looks as if the democrats want a showdown and they may well want to shut

1:36

down

1:36

but they always play it to their advantage to show the republicans did it

1:40

and my point is I don't want to shut down

1:42

I think it would be the democrat shutting down government if they're

1:45

unwilling to accept

1:46

a republican majorities instructions on how to spend the money

1:50

let's talk about the vote yes in a few democrats butter with you Mark Kirk

1:53

Republican at Villa no it did not

1:55

did you expect that well you know I think there's always been a few

1:59

republicans who I don't side with us on this issue

2:02

I do think though that it's a bigger issue than just abortion this is about

2:06

taxpayer funding

2:07

have a gruesome procedure not just any old abortion but abortion a fully formed

2:11

Bay

2:12

be with the babies being manipulated turned around to harvest the baby's

2:15

organs

2:16

eggs sperm particularly horrific and I really think everybody should have voted

2:20

against

2:21

funding for this and I'll continue to fight against this funding

2:24

there's no reason the world we have to fund Planned Parenthood all

2:28

everything they do is already done by another government agency

2:31

community health centers with nine thousand community health centers

2:35

there's no reason for one penny ever to go to a hairy was talking about the

2:39

Republican absurd policies

2:41

well they're not really listening planned parenthood is this usual obvious

2:45

kiss

2:46

millions of dollars to democrats it uses millions of dollars a fight against

2:50

republicans

2:51

they're not objective and they're not telling you the truth the truth is

2:54

women's health

2:55

is taking care of my community health centers by five billion dollars we've

2:59

doubled the amount of money we put into women's health care to government

3:03

and so R you know it's just a absurd argument to say that we need Planned

3:07

Parenthood

3:08

it's only about abortion you're a kid your idea just to be clear as to

3:13

continue the money but just do with a different health centers

3:15

is yeah it that do not perform abortions correct

3:18

wide right now money already goes the community health centers we've been

3:21

giving up billions we give I think about five billion dollars community health

3:25

centers

3:25

that would continue and other plenty avenues in

3:29

areas for people to go for women's health care most two-step Planned

3:33

Parenthood says they do they really don't do anyway

3:35

they endeavor for ring you to a real doctor they refer you to a community

3:38

health center

3:39

mammograms aren't really done there exams are self-exams if you are a

3:43

doctor's exam you go to a doctor

3:45

so really Planned Parenthood about abortion and now we find out about the

3:49

grisly sale a baby's organs

3:51

so I think the public's with us on this there's some debate

3:55

over various stages have abortion and there are some pro-choice people out

3:59

there

3:59

but when he gets to fully formed babies in their organs

4:02

two-thirds or more the American public things is this is grisly and should be

4:06

home

4:06

supported by the Thai hillary Clinton has come out or to cut a spot to as well

4:09

talking about

4:10

women's rights and that's that's going to be a debate as we go forward

4:14

we will see you in Cleveland Ohio and we've been asking viewers on

4:18

on Facebook to file questions for the cameras here is one out of arkansas

4:24

carl wright

4:24

its what will you do to protect religious Liberty

4:28

in america you get that question what he say senator you know the Hobby Lobby was

4:33

a great case at this and I think Hobby Lobby was a big victory

4:36

and I think that victory are to be spread across the business fair to say

4:39

the government should be involved with business

4:41

and if someone morally object to something they shouldn't be forced to

4:45

provide insurance for it so I'm a big defender the Hobby Lobby decision a big

4:49

defender about the business is right to be left alone

4:52

centre thank you for your time Rand Paul in a washington DC today thank you

4:56

again sir
