- "The fact that there were 53 votes to defund Planned Parenthood Monday will be a very important number when Congress returns in September....Because Congress hasn't passed individual appropriation bills to fund various government agencies, departments and programs, it will have to put all those appropriations into one big continuing resolution this Fall, and pass it, to keep the entire government operating....the opportunity for a pro-life victory has found its way to the national stage—and just in time for Congress's August recess. Members of Congress, especially those who claim to be pro-life, have a choice to make. It shouldn't be a hard one" (Genevieve Wood, The Daily Signal, 8/3/15)
- "Eighteen House conservatives told GOP leaders...that they will not support any measure to fund the government if it continues to fund Planned Parenthood....The letter was signed by Reps. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), John Fleming (R-La.), Raúl Labrador (R-Idaho), Matt Salmon (R-Ariz.) Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.), Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), Walter Jones (R-N.C.), Curt Clawson (R-Fla.), Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.), Keith Rothfus (R-Pa.), Randy Weber (R-Texas), Scott Perry (R-N.J.), Steven Pearce (R-N.M.), Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) and Louie Gohmert (R-Texas)" (Rebecca Shabad, The Hill, 7/29/15)
