Todd Starnes laments speaker, spending bill that fully fund Planned Parenthood

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.

Fox News host Todd Starnes, it seems, somehow thought having Paul Ryan as speaker would give conservatives some leverage.

Speaker Ryan really supports a spending bill that fully funds Planned Parenthood? Really, sir? Really?

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

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