Tying ObamaCare repeal to Planned Parenthood worries some in GOP

BY JESSIE HELLMANN - 03/03/17 06:04 AM EST

Some congressional Republicans think tying the defunding of Planned Parenthood to an ObamaCare repeal bill could jeopardize the healthcare law rollback that they’ve been working on for eight years.

“I don’t think it makes sense to have the defunding of Planned Parenthood linked to this issue at all,” said Sen. Susan Collins, a moderate Republican from Maine who voted against the repeal effort in 2015 because it included language defunding Planned Parenthood.

“If the House Republicans want to bring it up, it should be in a separate bill. I would oppose that bill, but it further complicates the negotiations to have it included in this bill."

Republicans have fought for years to cut off Planned Parenthood's funding because it provides abortions.

You might vote for repeal but balk at defunding. By tying them together they force you go against your whole party if you refuse to pass their whole wish list.

Women in America have been waking up. Even though Trump "won" the white women vote, he won a plurality, not a majority of women. After I+1 Day, Repubs should be worried about what women in America think of them.
