A few Democrats will be following the Republicans but even if this passes Obama will veto it. Half a billion dollars goes to fund Planned Parenthood ever year. The American people are 100% FED Up! with their tax dollars going to fund infanticide and profiting off of baby parts.
The Republican-controlled Senate is set to vote Monday to halt federal aid to Planned Parenthood, a fast response to the series of unsettling videos exposing the group’s little-noticed practice of providing fetal tissue to researchers.

The measure is not expected to pass because Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the other 53 Republican senators will need support from several Democrats to reach the 60-vote threshold, with some moderates on both sides still apparently undecided.

However, the effort appears to be another step in the effort by pro-choice groups and others to ban abortions and put an end to Planned Parenthood, which provides health services, family planning and abortions in clinics across the country.

“I think most Americans don’t want their tax dollars going to this,” 2016 presidential candidate and Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul told CNN’s “State of the Union.” “So I think when something is so morally repugnant to so many people, why should tax dollars go to this?”

Paul and other Republicans want the millions that go to Planned Parenthood given instead to community health centers across the country that provide similar services with the exception of abortions.

“So it would be much less emotional for everyone if we just funded community health centers and didn’t fund Planned Parenthood,” Paul said.

Democrats largely supported the group and argue the videos and the congressional Republican response is politically motivated and another attack on women.

“They’re attacking women’s health,” said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada.

The White House says it would block legislation to defund the pro-choice group.
