[News] US Federal Government Shutdown Looms over Planned Parenthood!

This is pathetic!

In the above video you can see a press conference where representatives Barbara Boxer Dianne Feinstein discuss government shutdown and Planned Parenthood.

You’ve heard the anger, you’ve heard the frustration, you’ve heard the reality, that’s where we are.

Is it your understanding that House Republican opponents of Planned Parenthood believe that the federal money is commingled, expungeable, and therefore it’s a legitimate approach to show their opposition to abortion.

The fact is that what they’re saying to us today is if you want to keep the federal government open you have to throw women under the bus and we’re saying we’re not going to do that.

Barbara Boxer: If they’re telling you as a member of the press that this money all goes to Planned Parenthood that is incorrect. Let’s be clear here. Seventy-five percent of it goes to other organizations. They are listed. You can see them. I named some of them. There’s 45 hundred different clinics, a quarter of which are run by Planned Parenthood. So let’s understand it. And again, let’s understand something else, let’s not confuse the American people. The Hyde Amendment governs this program. Not one single dime can be used for abortion.
