CQ Today Calls Pence Amendment Banning Planned Parenthood Funding "Biggest Fight Over Abortion Since Democrats Took Over Congress"
CQ Today published an article today entitled "Abortion Debate Still Finds a Way into House Action on Spending measure" Click here to access the article (subscription needed). Here is an excerpt from the article:
“Mike Pence, R-Ind., offered an amendment to prohibit Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the country, from receiving any of the bill’s family planning money. It was a measure, [David] Obey said, “that in essence upsets the apple cart.”
And it provoked the sort of passion Obey had worked to circumvent. […] The dispute was one of the biggest fights over abortion since Democrats took over the 110th Congress.”
