It looks like Planned Parenthood won't be defunded and Obamacare won't be repealed thanks to three Republican senators.
Republicans failed to rally enough senators to vote for the Better Care Reconciliation Act, which would repeal and replace Obamacare. Then, Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, announced the Senate would instead only vote on repealing the pro-abortion healthcare law.
The bill repealing Obamacare would also defund Planned Parenthood for one year. Three Republican senators, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Susan Collins of Maine, have all said they'd vote against the bill. This means McConnell doesn't have the 50 votes needed to debate and then pass the bill.
Capito has a mixed record on abortion, having voted for a few moderate pro-life bills but also to expand research on human embryonic stem cell lines and fund contraception. In 2015, she voted to repeal Obamacare, when it was obvious the then-president would veto the legislation. She said she doesn't support repealing Obamacare without a replacement.

Murkowski and Collins both support Planned Parenthood, America's largest abortion provider. It receives around half a billion dollars in taxpayer money every year. These funds technically can't go toward abortions, but critics point out they can be used to keep the abortion-centered organization running while freeing up non-government money to commit abortions.
Collins has previously said defunding the abortion giant "makes no sense."
"I will not vote to deny Alaskans access to the health services that Planned Parenthood provides," Murkowski said earlier this year.
Planned Parenthood commits more than 300,000 abortions annually, more than 30 percent of all abortions in the U.S. It provides zero mammograms and only two percent of the nation's cancer screenings.
Hey - womyn have every right to kill their own children!
Not to mention selling various body parts to the highest bidder as well.
Where is our good friend Ivanka on this? She’s done a good job of ducking the issue, preferring the relative safety of phony issues like ‘equal pay’ and ‘empowering womyn’, but maybe it’s time to come clean on some real issues.
Problem is, ‘some other time’ never comes.
No, Carl Vehse had it right in the first place.
Trying to make this a racial issue is a fool’s errand. But nice try anyway.
They certainly should not be entrusted to run the country.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
These three would be right at home in the next presentation of Macbeth.
Better Care Reconciliation Act DOES NOT repeal ACA
I hate abortion and it is one of the most vile government sanctioned institutions outside of the Nazi Final Solution and Communist purges.
These are “big-tent Republicans”, in the party with room for everyone. Anyone who thinks the US is still a conservative country should bear in mind that elected conservatives are a small number of the whole; if these whores weren’t welcomed in the big tent the Dems would hold both houses of Congress.
More than 30% done by PP, but what about the other 65+%. Hospitals?
ABOLISH HUMAN ABORTION PERIOD.

A PRIME EXAMPLE of why women should be home baking cookies!!!!!-———NEVER IN POSITIONS OF POWER!!!!
Wisc. has largely already shut down Planned Parenthood in the state and has enacted other pro-life measures. Walker is gov.
We’re doing our part here in East Tennessee by opening a state of the art commercial kitchen next month...should keep them too busy to run for office. :-)
5:21 “You have heard that it was said to an older generation, 24 ‘Do not murder,’ 25 and ‘whoever murders will be subjected to judgment.’ 5:22 But I say to you that anyone who is angry with a brother 26 will be subjected to judgment. And whoever insults 27 a brother will be brought before 28 the council, 29 and whoever says ‘Fool’ 30 will be sent 31 to fiery hell
“Note what all three have in common.”
Besides UGLY, you mean?
I am willing to bet that there are more than 3 who would vote against this if they needed to. They simply picked 3 from relatively safe (ie. “moderate”) districts - enough to keep the bill from passing. The GOPe does this all the time, allowing certain GOPe members to tell the base back home that they voted the right way. Isn’t that effectively what these same folks did under the last president?
“Trying to make this a racial issue is a fool’s errand”.
Yeh, yer probably right...
Secondary results of our actions don’t count,,,,,since we had good intentions. So we are exempt...???
U no, like that cop who shot across his partner to kill that gal talking to the driver(partner)..
Interesting that none of them well above child bearing age and all have children already.
I’ll never understand old bats (who have children of their own) supporting abortion.
These three cu, cu, cu, whores deserver to burn in hell!
Bought and paid for by the death lobby despite the euphemisms they use to defend their actions.
