Fiorina On Planned Parenthood: ‘This Is About The Character Of Our Nation’

The bill has one co-sponsor in the Senate, but there is no companion bill in the Democratic-controlled Assembly.

But on Wednesday, McConnell said that he meant to do just that.

“Democrats are ready to sit down and negotiate with Republicans… but it should be over legitimate questions of spending and revenue, not unrelated ideological issues”, said Obama during a routine Business Roundtable.

“We need to stop surrendering and start standing up for our principles”, Cruz said.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday said that Republican were attempting to block federal funding of Planned Parenthood because they don’t respect women and don’t believe in family planning.

“For this one battle, for the time being, we forgot about politics and focused on good government, and if we had to take a beating for it, then so be it”, he wrote.

At the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, CNSNews.com asked Senator McCain: “Will you vote for a CR that permits funding of Planned Parenthood?”

“All we’re going to do is shut the government down”, Ohio Gov. John Kasich said, contending that while he supported defunding Planned Parenthood, threatening a shutdown would not be a successful strategy. The videos were heavily edited to appear more shocking, but investigations by multiple states have found zero evidence of any wrongdoing.

The Senate will take up a different abortion bill next week, banning almost all abortions after 20 weeks. Boehner would not rule out attempting to add Planned Parenthood language to a type of budget bill that is immune from Senate filibuster rules and only requires a majority vote to pass.

In addition, top Republicans have spread the word that even the National Right to Life Committee – which favors cutting off Planned Parenthood’s funds – doubts the wisdom of risking a shutdown over that issue.

They released a statement that said, “Extremists who oppose Planned Parenthood’s mission and services are making outrageous and completely false claims”.

That documentary, “Human Capital”, also includes an interview with a former Planned Parenthood technician who said she was once ordered to procure a brain from a fetus, according to Vox.

Republican leaders are hoping the House floor abortion debates would ease some of the pressure from conservatives to link the funding bill with the explosive abortion fight.

She says the policy in place is simply to think things through and “think “New York Times headline” when you are creating your policy.”

Republican Senator Shelley Moore Capito, who was a House member during the 2013 government shutdown, told Reuters she would do “everything I can in my power” to avoid a repeat of that episode, which she called “a total disservice and misery”.
