"Planned Parenthood won't lose its funding for at least 18 months, says America's top senator....
"McConnell's comments came despite pressure from Senators & Representatives alike, as well as pro-life groups, who want Republicans to make defunding a priority.
"'If the president of the United States and Harry Reid think it's more important that Planned Parenthood get your tax dollars than to pay our troops, then they are shutting down the government,' Freedom Caucus leader Jim Jordan, R-OH, told CNN last week.
"Jordan and others have pushed GOP leaders to attach defunding efforts to must-pass pieces of legislation, such as a highway bill earlier this summer and the upcoming Continuing Resolution to keep the federal government running. GOP leaders have generally opposed this strategy, which has created a schism within the party."
