It looks like Planned Parenthood won't be defunded and Obamacare won't be repealed thanks to three Republican senators.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.
I would have voted for the better care. Half a loaf is better than none and PP would have been defunded.
The half of the human race that is actually able to bear children is also the half that can’t wait to kill them.
Sad and confusing.
great...remove the defunding of planned parenthood. revisit it some other time.
Shelley Moore, Lisa Murkowski, and Susan Collins are RINOcrat whores. They are not Republicans.
Then they aren’t Republicans.
Pretty much that. The Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania voters that stopped Hillary don’t care about abortion. Just get it out of the bill and get the bill passed.
Most women in politics are stupid in including these three stooges. Get ‘em outta there. They belong at home taking care of their family, children and husband.
...Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Susan Collins of Maine, have all said they'd vote against the bill.
Because it's more important for them to maintain faith with the feminist sisterhood than it is to stop the merciless butchering of babies and selling their parts.
Life is very short. Like all, one day these women will pass into eternity and they will have to stand before the Creator and give an account for their actions and participation in abortion.
Political corruption: putting their own political careers ahead of the interests of their constituency and America.
Career politician: anyone in politics for more than two terms.
Shame on the voters who put these pro-murder women in their positions. Their punishment will be shared with those who approve the murder of God’s children by voting to have these women represent them.
Such treachery towards the American people , in the teeth of the promises they made, makes me wish they were playing baseball a few weeks ago with the other congressmen on the field. I realize I should not have such evil thoughts but Obamacare is itself an evil of monumental proportions. I’d dread meeting my maker if was whiten my power to end Obamacare and I failed to do so.
“Shelley Moore, Lisa Murkowski, and Susan Collins are RINOcrat whores. “
Nah , they’re just haters...of Blacks and Hispanics who make the greatest use of PP.....What’s the opposite of ‘viva so and so’?...No viva los blacks and hispanics? That’s them...
These three names keep coming up over and over again whenever Congress is set to vote on anything Trump wants to accomplish. They need to go.
I said this on another thread two days ago - these women are holding up a healthcare overhaul for the entire country so baby killing is funded.
Sick sick sick.
Fill in any letter you like.
Note what all three have in common.
B
Women who believe that they have a right to kill their children should not be entrusted with taking care of their children.
