Can the House not stop funding? I thought it started there?
They can indeed. But they won’t. Because a) the GOPe leadership won’t bring it up and b) they don’t have 2/3 to override an Obama veto, so they’ll use that as an excuse. That’s why it has to be a shutdown-—which they already caved over.
Republicans have controlled the house since 2010. PP remained funded each year. Between 2000 and 2006 they had majority with a Republican “pro-life” president. PP never lost their funding. Did anyone in government know PP was selling baby parts? Yes.
