David Lewis is challenging John Boehner for his seat on one issue: funding for Planned Parenthood, with Lewis calling the organization “the largest killer of unborn babies in America.” Challenging John Boehner on abortion is likely to be futile.
Dave Kern, chairman of the Butler County GOP who subscribes to the tea party, defended Boehner’s anti-abortion record.
“I have no issue on educating the public on the wrongs of abortion. But I think the young man is mistaken to try to do damage to a committed soldier in this battle,” Kern said. “His efforts could be spent more productively in other directions and that’s certainly what I would advise.”
Besides, no taxpayer dollars go to Planned Parenthood for abortion services.
