That is completely bogus, as federal dollars do NOT fund abortion at Planned Parenthood, that is illegal.
Dell, you laughed at Harry Reid, and called it a "disgraceful Democratic ploy", yet he's precisely correct. That is exactly what the budget fight is about tonight, right now. The Republicans are inserting yet another one of their culture war riders into an emergency government funding bill.

Planned Parenthood now has 800 health centers in the United States.
The most controversial services are their in-clinic abortions and emergency contraception services. But the organization also offers breast exams, cervical cancer screening and vaccines for sexually transmitted diseases.
