What is the bar to the House passing a budget, with everything except funding for PP? Does the budget need 60 votes in the Senate? If not, you can pass a budget and avoid a shutdown (a bad idea, as a shutdown is just what the Dems want) and cut PP out in the process.

It's my understanding that the house bill fully funded the government, did not fund PP, but instead, took the money slated for PP, and spread it around to other clinics that actually did real good for women, and not abortions. No cut in overall funding.

Sorry for my ignorance here ( I’ve been really busy at work), but are you saying the current bill fully funds the gov’t and takes PP money and gives it to other clinics that actually do some good? What’s wrong with that? Does it need 60 votes in the Senate to pass? If not, why not just pass the bill and let BHO veto it?
