Some Republican Candidates Seem To Blame The Victim– Planned Parenthood

Republicans have led a call to defund Planned Parenthood over edited videos released by an anti-abortion group alleging the organization violates rules on fetal tissue donation for research.

“I do not see a shutdown happening”, McCarthy told reporters at the Capitol on Monday. But Mr. McCarthy said he expects Congress would pass the spending bill by December 11 or in the following week.

Abortion itself, however, is a delicate, nuanced and complex issue.

Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountains’ CEO, Vicki Cowart stated on AMC’s “This Week”: “We’ve experienced so much hateful language, hateful speech, such a negative environment has been created … around the idea of safe and legal abortion”.

After Planned Parenthood was exposed selling aborted baby parts, Governor Robert Bentley announced on Twitter in August that Alabama would also be cutting all state taxpayer funding to the abortion company.

Conservatives have denounced rival Democrats for what they say is political exploitation of the shooting, and defended their battle against abortion. Monday “Whipping people into a frenzy of hate and anger while providing easy access to firearms has proven disastrous to our country”. More than 100 House Republicans signed a letter opposing the inclusion of that funding in the spending bill.

“I think maybe it’s time to look at how do we tone down some of that rhetoric”, Hickenlooper told CNN, “so we don’t get people to a point of going out and committing senseless violence”. “As a doctor and Alabama’s Governor, the issue of human life, from conception to birth and beyond, is extremely important to me”. “It would be like saying we have complaints about education reform in America so there are school shootings. And to connect those two is total irresponsible behavior”.

An Obama veto would be certain if Congress sends him the bill obliterating the health care law and halting funding for Planned Parenthood.

House-Senate negotiations on a long-term measure funding highway and transit programs seem likely to finally produce results, helped in large part by a new “offset” to help pay for the measure that involves a money shuffle from the Federal Reserve to the Treasury. Specifically on the presidential campaign trail. PPSE CEO Staci Fox said in a statement they were “pleased the state has backed off of a costly and wasteful attempt to restrict care for Alabama women”. Republican presidential candidates have rejected any link between anti-abortion rhetoric and the shootings. Mike Lee or Utah. The GOP’s top vote counter urged his whip team to turn around the phenomenon in which so many Republicans “vote no and hope yes”.

The lawmaker confirmed to The Associated Press that the posting is accurate but says she has nothing more to say about it.

Debate on reconciliation is set to begin formally Wednesday and conclude Thursday, per several aides and senators.

Other business includes highway spending, taxes and a rewrite of the Bush-era No Child Left Behind education law.
