Republican leaders in Congress on Thursday began advancing bills urgently needed to avoid federal agency shutdowns on Oct. 1 while navigating conservatives' demands to punish Planned Parenthood over an abortion controversy.
The Senate defeated Republican efforts to use a funding extension bill to cut off money to Planned Parenthood, clearing the way for a version without that provision that extends all previous funding through Dec. 11. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has set the first procedural vote on that measure for Monday, two days before the federal fiscal year ends on Sept. 30.
House Speaker John Boehner, meanwhile, laid out similar options in a closed-door meeting with Republican conservatives, who oppose any spending bill allowing federal funds to go to Planned Parenthood amid allegations that it improperly sold tissue harvested from aborted fetuses.
The nonprofit women's healthcare group has denied any wrongdoing.
Lawmakers leaving the meeting declined to say whether Boehner would defy their demands and hold a vote on a "clean" funding bill.
House Republican leadership aides said that the Ohio congressman is considering alternatives, including a separate Planned Parenthood defunding bill using special procedures to ease passage through both chambers of Congress. President Barack Obama would likely veto it.

They are ready to keep this govt without a budget and fund all of the disastrous spending of Obama.
Have to wonder what the magic negro has on these two?..
The American people did not choose to convert
America to Sharia, to arm al Qaeda,
to import incurable diseases, and
to begin genocide worldwide.
Those who chose it were: Moslem Obama
and his puppets, McCain, McConnell and Boehner-the-Orange.
Whatever it is, Boehner and McConnell belong in prison.
He probably has pictures of one of them performing a sex act on another man. I don’t know what he has on the other one. But you can take it to he bank that he has access to all the NASA information.
In a perfect universe, those two sons o’ bitches Boehner and McConnell would get a free, all expenses paid trip to Harry Reid’s workout room.
What bh0 has on Boehner and Mitchell is his being a bully who does not care about the consequences of his positions and believes that the word ‘negotiation’ means “Surrender to 0. My way or no way.” I am sure bh0 has no problem with keeping the government closed for a couple of months because he knows that the MSM will back him without any reservation.
Typical moves from a party with no soul, agenda or message run by big money donors/lobbyists and helmed by gutless fossils.
They merely “keep the trains running on time”.
Don’t think so? How is it that the Democrats still control the agenda while in the minority?
So, when did planned parenthood officially become a branch of the government?
Close the government down over withholding funding from a private organization?
What’s next? Full funding of CAIR, black lives matter, and the NAACP?
“Fund them, or I’ll shut it down?”?
Little Lord O’Fauntleroy will hold his breath and pout if he isn’t allowed dictatorial powers?
Congress is a giant toilet that needs flushing.
They didn’t choose it either. They’re just satanic meat puppets, trading an eternity in the lake of fire for shiny objects today.
Extending funding through December 11 indicates the next step in the cave strategy. That benchmark date indicates they will give in again using the holiday season as their reason. Funding will be pushed through to March and then the excuse will be the upcoming election is too near.
TRANSLATION: Pretend to oppose the kenyan bastard and then bend over and let "Barry" have his way.
Cowards, all.
