Congress votes to defund Planned Parenthood

In Washington, DC, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on Feb. 18 to eliminate governmental funding from Planned Parenthood, the nation's top abortion provider, for the rest of the fiscal year.

This marks the first time that Congress has voted to defund the organization, which allegedly conducted more than 324,000 abortions at clinics during 2008.

The New York Theological Seminary is dedicated to multiculturalism, diversity, social justice and religious tolerance. The mission of the seminary is to prepare men and women, from every background, for careers in ministry.
