WASHINGTON, March 25, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ -- Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ), Co-Chairman of the Bipartisan Pro-Life Caucus released the following statement commenting on today's Government Accountability Office (GAO) report documenting federal funding for six abortion advocacy groups, including Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA):

"The government watchdog (GAO) report issued today found that Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion chain in America, received a whopping $1.5 billion dollars through federal programs over a three year period," Smith said.

"Planned Parenthood—Child Abuse Incorporated—is responsible for killing more than 6 million unborn children, and it is unconscionable that this organization continues to be subsidized by the American taxpayer," he said.
