This Friday, October 23, the US House of Representatives will hold a vote<\/a> on a bill to place a one-year moratorium on Planned Parenthood\u2019s federal funding and repeal several Obamacare provisions, using the reconciliation process to give the bill a simple majority vote when it reaches the Senate.<\/p>\n

Past votes to defund Planned Parenthood have cleared the House but failed to reach<\/a> President Barack Obama\u2019s desk because under current Senate rules, a sixty-vote supermajority is needed to end debate on a bill and move on to vote on a bill\u2019s passage. The Republican-controlled Senate has a thin pro-life majority, which is not enough to overcome the filibuster.<\/p>\n

The National Right to Life Committee, Students for Life of America, American Life League, Susan B. Anthony List, and other pro-life groups have endorsed the measure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
