Epic GOP Fail: Planned
Parenthood Survives Abortion in Senate
(Breitbart) – Planned Parenthood survived a
procedural vote Monday in the U.S. Senate on a bill to defund the organization,
after a series of undercover videos emerged to suggest that the organization
may have been willing to sell fetal organs from late-term abortions to
tissue companies.
The vote for cloture was 53-46, meaning that
it well well shy of the 60 votes needed to end debate and proceed to a vote. The
vote was largely along partisan lines, with Sen. Mark Kirk
(R-IL) crossing over to vote with Democrats, and Sens. Sen. Joe
Donnelly (D-IN) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) voting with the GOP. House Majority
Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) voted against the measure to
preserve the option of a re-vote.
The bill was proposed by first-term Sen.
Joni Ernst (R-IA). The White House opposed it strongly, with press
secretary Josh Earnest telling CNN on Monday that while he had not personally
seen the “shocking” videos, he believed that the videos had been “selectively
edited.”
The issue promises to be a significant factor
in the 2016 presidential race, as well as in numerous competitive races for
congressional seats.

This wasn’t an epic GOP fail, it was a
typical GOP fail, a regular daily event. They are entirely predictable.
