Article from The Hill by Jordain Carney.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) wants to tie a fight over funding for Planned Parenthood to a massive government spending bill currently being debated by the Senate.
Paul has filed an amendment that would prevent federal funding from going to the organization and others that perform abortions.
“This is our chance to turn our words into action, stand up for the sanctity of life, and speak out for the most innocent among us that have no voice,” Paul said in a statement.
The Kentucky Republican added that preventing taxpayer dollars from going to abortion providers should be “one of the top priorities” for the GOP-controlled Congress.
