Planned Parenthood survived a procedural vote Monday in the U.S. Senate on a bill to defund the organization, after a series of undercover videos emerged to suggest that the organization may have been willing to sell fetal organs from late-term abortions to tissue companies.
The vote for cloture was 53-46, meaning that it fell well shy of the 60 votes needed to end debate and proceed to a vote. The vote was largely along partisan lines, with Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) 28% crossing over to vote with Democrats, and Sens. Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-IN) 7% and Joe Manchin (D-WV) voting with the GOP. House Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) 52% voted against the measure to preserve the option of a re-vote.
The bill was proposed by first-term Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) 60% . The White House opposed it strongly, with press secretary Josh Earnest telling CNN on Monday that while he had not personally seen the “shocking” videos, he believed that the videos had been “selectively edited.”
The issue promises to be a significant factor in the 2016 presidential race, as well as in numerous competitive races for congressional seats.

Wait, let it die anyway. That’s what the Left does when a baby survives abortion.
Reason #234,354 America as we knew it is DEAD. We need to form small communities of trust, and ignore Fed.gov, because it is no longer our friend. Was it ever?
“Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to die; save them as they stagger to their death.
Don’t excuse yourself by saying, ‘Look, we didn’t know.’ For God understands all hearts, and He sees you.
He who guards your soul knows you knew. He will repay all people as their actions deserve.” – Proverbs 24:11-12
It’s kind of pathetic that Americans finally learn that the Ayatollah Khomenei was right all along when he called the United States of America “The Great Satan.”
If America fails it will be because of the Christians.

One wonders how strong Satan is? Just look at this woman; a weak piece of flesh in his hands. Pitiful!
We Americans have seen the face of Satan, and his image is squarely on the President and the 56 members of the US Senate who prohibited this measure to go forward.

I will remember this come election time.
However, I didn’t vote for the bastard the first time. I (and others here) were roundly castigated by Illinois rinos for refusing to vote for him.
mmmmmmmm.....crunchy.....
I wouldn't care to guess what's going through this evil mind.
What does voting “against the measure to preserve the option of a revote” mean? I need a translation.
That sounds harsh?
Christians are actively seeking the Lord on a daily basis, humbling themselves, praying for mercy for our land.
Could you please explain what you mean?
Pro-baby-body selling senators are primary chum.
The baby murder enablers must believe they will never die.
Baby killers and butchers in the Senate. I don’t want to hear any more sob stories out of that scum about school shootings. They could care less about “the churldren”. They only want them for political campaign props.
Who is that?
Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood
