If the GOP controls the government, why does Planned Parenthood still get federal funding?

Because much if not most of the GOP is Leftist Light. Has been for decades.

Because it was only 52-48 and now it’s 51-49. There are more than 3 pub senators who who are pro-choice and the filibuster rule means they some never have to admit it.

Over the last few weeks, McConnell has praised what Congress accomplished last year. In one instance he stated it would be hard to compete with last year, they did so much in 2017.

I nearly heaved my lunch. That rat bastard hasn’t got clue one what needs to be done. It was clear last year was his crowning achievement for the decade. No need to do more.

The Democrats are demonic, but our own leaders are criminally negligent if not worse.

[Dogbert41]

Because Planned Parenthood manages to spend millions of dollars every election attacking pro life candidates.

Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger as a eugenics organization to control the population of minorities in this country.

Why would a political party dominated in Congress by white elected officials ever vote to strip them of their funding?

[xzins]

Which part?

[Olog-hai]

There is no “leftist lite”. The pretense of grey areas between the darkness and light has been shattered utterly. It was shattered way back in the 1960s, for those who had their eyes open.

[Sopater]

Which part?

That the reason that we're still funding PP has anything to do with the number of GOP senators.

The house has the purse strings and the GOP has never really been serious about defunding PP. That's the real reason.

Nicole’s problem is a common one. She conflates Republican with conservative. RINO is actually meaningless. The purpose of the Republican party is to get into office and wield the levers of power, enriching themselves and, whenever it’s convenient, representing a constituency. If he’s in office, the he’s not republican in name only. He’s doing what they do.

Conservatism is a set of principles. Someone in office betraying these principles is more accurately labeled a CINO.

[xzins]

Every funding bill has to pass the senate and be signed by the potus.

It would never pass the senate. I’m betting it would get stripped in committee hearings.

Assumes a false narrative.

The GOP controls the House. The GOP controls the Senate. The GOP controls the White House. The GOP controls the Supreme Court. The GOP controls the majority of State governments.

Having said all this - it is the Democrat Party that still controls the government.

[SaxxonWoods]

Democrats don’t control the government. Most Republicans want PP funded.

[Jim W N]

Yeah, the large part of the GOP is Leftist Light. That simply means they wait (hide) in the wings while the Dems destroy the county. Later they come on stage and continue what the Dems have started. That’s all.

Why would anyone want PP genocide funded?

McConnell is Red China’s chief advocate in congress.

[DoughtyOne]

Wouldn’t surprise me. How old is that guy. Must be closing in on 135.

Cut off PP funding of abortions now, and in 16 years the knockout game will surge in popularity. Just sayin’
