Senate vote to defund Planned Parenthood fails
The fight over funding for Planned Parenthood shifts to a must-pass government funding measure this fall after a procedural vote in the Senate on legislation that would have barred all federal funds for the group failed on Monday.
The vote was 53-46, meaning the measure failed the get the 60 votes needed to overcome a Democratic filibuster on bringing the bill up for debate.
So the Democrats wouldn't even let then bring it to the floor for open debate.
Much, much too embarrassing, I suppose.
