TheBlaze probably put it best in its headline yesterday, “Planned Parenthood and White House Take Victory Lap Following Massive Spending Bill Negotiations.” Despite the release of more than a dozen undercover videos highlighting controversial and potentially illegal practices within the taxpayer-funded abortion provider, the $1.1 trillion omnibus bill moving through Congress leaves Planned Parenthood’s half-billion dollars of federal funding untouched.

@toddstarnes You didn't really think he would be different than Boehner did you? Or Loretta Lynch different than Holder? This is your GOP.

@toddstarnes Honestly, why are you surprised? He thinks you win via decorum, not hardball. Can't shutdown the government for babies.

Speaker Paul Ryan says the House will vote on repealing Obamacare and defunding Planned Parenthood in January. Would get a White House veto.
