WASHINGTON, D.C., January 5, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-WI, said today that an upcoming budget bill designed to fast-track Republicans’ Obamacare repeal efforts will also be used to defund Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood’s funding will be reallocated to comprehensive health care centers.
The Planned Parenthood defunding measure will be attached to what is known as a budget reconciliation bill, which is a way for the House to pass a federal budget while bypassing a Senate filibuster and limiting the amount of time the bill can be debated. If the reconciliation bill passes the House and a simple majority in the Senate, it will go to the president’s desk for him to sign.
