Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid lost his "moral compass years ago"
— and along with other lawmakers who support Planned Parenthood and its abortion services will have to answer to God when "the blood these innocent children … cry out for justice," according to evangelist preacher Franklin Graham.
In a blistering Facebook post Wednesday, Graham, who heads the foundation named after his his father, Billy Graham, as well as the global charity Samaritan's Purse, shot back at the Nevada Democrat's attack on Republicans before a
Senate vote that failed to defund the organization amid an uproar over hidden-camera videos showing Planned Parenthood staffers talk about the apparent sale of fetal tissue.
Reid "outrageously declared … that Republicans had 'lost their moral compass' after they were unable to get the 60 votes needed to move the bill in Congress forward that would defund Planned Parenthood," Graham writes.

"You’ve got it backwards Senator Reid. You lost your moral compass years ago!" Graham counter-punched.
"You openly support abortion — the murder of babies in their mothers' wombs — and now by backing Planned Parenthood you obviously support the dismemberment and sale of baby body parts," he writes.
"Shame on you and each one in Congress who did not support defunding Planned Parenthood. One day you will stand before God, and the blood of these innocent children will cry out for justice."

latest video released by the anti-abortion group, the Center for Medical Progress, Melissa Farrell, director of research for Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, discusses the organization's rationale behind the sale of the "intact fetuses."
The latest in the series of undercover videos has drawn the increasing ire of pro-life groups, and outraged lawmakers who want to stop federal funds going to the family planning organization.
The president of Planned Parenthood,
Cecile Richards, has said the group doesn't provide fetal tissue for financial gain, and charges the undercover "video stalking… is really part of a much larger and longer campaign to try to end access to both safe and legal abortion" and "certainly to end access to Planned Parenthood."
