Correction; .0083% of the federal budget.

Its all just a prelude to the fight coming on raising the debt ceiling to pay for programs. This fight was over chump change in comparison and what cuts could be coming.Oth house have to pass it or it does not get raised and cuts have to be made.

so what if you can get an abortion at PP. it is a legal medical service that part of woman's health services.
You can also get abortions at hospitals. Will they vote to close all hospitals next?

Sorry, HIV testing and HPV vaccines are done without charge at PP. I consider that a major part of healthcare.

Without charge to who, the sexually irresponsible 'victim'? Possibly. I really hope you don't think those services are performed with no cost.

Senator Jon Kyl defended Republicans’ willingness to shut down the government over funding for Planned Parenthood by falsely claiming that abortion is “well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does.” In reality, just three percent of its work is related to abortion.

CNN anchor TJ Holmes: We did call his office trying to ask what he was talking about there. And I just want to give it you verbatim here. It says, ‘his remark was not intended to be a factual statement, but rather to illustrate that Planned Parenthood, a organization that receives millions of dollars in taxpayer funding, does subsidize abortions.’
Folks, the political system here in America is broken. It's a joke. We don't get facts here, we get lies, exaggerations, caricatures, and cartoons. And they're delivered to us by clowns honking their bicycle horns of nonsense in every avenue they can think of: C-SPAN, Fox News, MSNBC, and Twitter. No lie is too big, no distortion is too grotesque.

Take away safe and legal abortions and you'll see a rise of the back alley coat hanger type of abortions.
Never fails for someone to pop up in a thread about abortions talking about the 100% certainty of coat hanger abortions if anything disrupts the free flowing abortion services. Are there really pregant women so hell bent on getting abortions that they would go into an alley and have a coat hanger shoved in them? If they are that stupid, maybe they are in line for a Darwin award and it would not be useful to interrupt evolution in progress.

Could you please educate yourself about HPV before you speak and look stupid.
