WASHINGTON (AP) — Dr. Ben Carson has urged people of faith to stand up against what he calls the “blatant evil” of Planned Parenthood.
The Republican presidential hopeful addressed a rally outside the U.S. Capitol Tuesday as an anti-abortion group released a third undercover video of Planned Parenthood officials discussing the provision of organs from aborted fetuses for research.
Carson told abortion opponents he had spent many nights as a surgeon “toiling so hard to save one of those lives.”
Senators Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, who also are seeking the GOP nomination, said Congress should cut off the hundreds of millions of dollars it gives Planned Parenthood.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s office says he’s working “to address this horrific issue with the goal of taking a vote” before Congress’s August recess.
