National Catholic Register, Matthew Archbold: So, last I heard, Republicans won the House, Senate, and the presidency. Yet we’re still funneling millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood. Uhm. Why? It seems that once again Republicans won the election and lost the politics. In an effort to avoid the always dreaded government shutdown, Congress voted on a $1 Trillion spending bill that keeps the government open until October. I get the politics. The Republicans think that a government shutdown will always be blamed on them. And you know what, it probably would. The media tends to take the side of Democrats. And if defunding Planned Parenthood was part of the spending bill it probably would’ve meant at least a threatened shutdown. So they figured they’d keep the government open for a few months and then they’ll take on the other issues that they’ve promised to take on. I get it. Full report here.
