Planned Parenthood Battle / Boehner
So. After the break and the Donald and the videos and Mark Meadows’ motion to vacate the chair – what is going to happen as Congress comes back to DC?
Mark Fuller at RollCall.com has a road map:
With the end of the fiscal year, September is almost always a busy month on Capitol Hill. But this year, a funding fight over Planned Parenthood is shaping up to be emblematic of John A. Boehner’s entire speakership: a subtle and chaotic effort to lead a divided Republican Conference while avoiding the most damaging public relations pitfalls.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has already said Republicans don’t have the votes to defund Planned Parenthood. But House conservatives — mobilized by the release of a series of undercover videos featuring officials talking about abortion procedures — seem undeterred.
“Personally, there’s no way I’m going to vote for something that gives money to this organization in light of what we discovered,” House Freedom Caucus Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, recently told CQ Roll Call.
If the influential Jordan votes against a continuing resolution with Planned Parenthood funding, he’s likely to be joined by others in the 40-plus-member HFC.
“Values voters will be outraged if a Republican House and Senate, who campaigned on a pro-life majority and [said] we’re going to make a difference on life issues, don’t do something about it in September,” conservative Kansas Republican Tim Huelskamp told CQ Roll Call.
Huelskamp was one of 18 House Republicans in July who pledged to vote against any bill that gives even a single dollar to Planned Parenthood.
If those members maintain that pledge, passing a continuing resolution becomes even more difficult. Boehner and McConnell each would almost certainly need Democratic votes.
Ultimate passage of a CR, even a short-term bill to facilitate a larger budget caps discussion that could include the debt limit and even highway funding, was probably always going to take Democratic votes. There simply aren’t enough Republicans in the Senate to avoid a Democratic filibuster. But there are small Republican victories that could be had in the CR.
