House Republicans are voting for legislation today to end government funding for Planned Parenthood, setting up a budgetary showdown that could force a government shutdown by the end of the month. Senate Republicans are also proposing anti-choice legislation that would outlaw all abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. This comes after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell failed to secure enough votes to defund Planned Parenthood last month. A recent Reuters poll shows the majority of Americans support federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
