Planned Parenthood is praising Democrats in Congress after the spending bill released early Wednesday morning spared the organization from cuts.
As expected, the spending bill does not defund Planned Parenthood, a clear deal-breaker for Democrats, but the absence of spending cuts is still noteworthy given the intensity of the push to defund the group earlier this year.
Planned Parenthood Vice President Dana Singiser praised congressional Democrats on Wednesday for “holding the line against these harmful policy riders and cuts to key women’s health programs.”
“Extreme members of Congress spent an entire year targeting access to reproductive health care at every opportunity — even threatening to shut down the government,” she added. “Today’s budget bill maintains access to critical preventive health services and lacks these harmful attacks on women’s health care — at home and abroad.”
After pushing for complete defunding of Planned Parenthood ahead of the Oct. 1 funding deadline, the conservative House Freedom Caucus scaled back its demands to a call for compromise language that would give states the ability to choose to defund the group.
The compromise was not included in the final spending bill.

At some point, the people will understand that there is only one political party controlled by a political class of elites. We are only fodder to support their greed and power. At the expense of our morality, freedom and chilren.

We have been a nation of Satan for a long time now.
Agreed, Tom. For at least the last 50 years, our nation has been in full submission to evil. And it looks as though the wage of our national sins, is about to be paid in full…
In the US alone, abortion has killed more than Hitler and Stalin – with all of their atrocities – combined. Every halmark and ensign of our recognition of Jesus as our Lord and Savior has been ripped out – out of our educational system, out of our public squares, out of our corporate culture, out of our government, and even out of our courts (which were founded upon Christian “common” law).
As a nation, we have, at this point, done every evil thing which Israel did in times of old… and I suppose that His justice has appointed for us the same recompenses which Israel earned, through all of her iniquity.
WE HAVE BEEN WARNED
The gov. have been in submission and a nation beholden-ed to satan for longer than 50 years.
We THE PEOPLE are the economic Copper Top batteries that keep the gov. powered.
