Planned Parenthood rally pressures senators to fund abortion giant

Showdown: Planned Parenthood rally pressures senators to fund abortion giant | LifeSiteNews.com: The rally, which drew a disputed 4,000 participants according to Planned Parenthood’s count, came one day before the government was expected to shut down all non-necessary operations, with the GOP standing firm against the administration’s plans for the Continuing Resolution (CR) that would fund the government for the next six months. A short-term CR offered by Republicans on Monday was rejected by both President Obama and Senate leader Harry Reid, who criticized the bill’s stripping of taxpayer funds for abortions in the District of Columbia.
