"Congress votes to keep funding scandal-plagued Planned Parenthood through December"

"The U.S. government is funded -- until December 11, anyway....

"the House and Senate voted overwhelmingly to fund the federal government until December 11 -- including Planned Parenthood. President Obama immediately signed the legislation.

"The vote was 277-151 in the House and 78-20 in the Senate. All 'No' votes came from Republicans; two GOP senators, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Marco Rubio of Florida, did not vote. Four Republicans and two Democrats did not vote in the House....

"Conservatives wanted to force a fight over Planned Parenthood's funding....

"Speaker John Boehner, R-OH, is resigning from the chamber on October 30. Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-CA, is widely expected to be voted into the position by his fellow Republicans....

"'President Obama and some in Congress have opted to keep taxpayer funds flowing to Planned Parenthood, even though the nation's largest abortion chain is under four congressional investigations, and several state investigations, looking into at least three criminal acts it has committed,' said Live Action's Lila Rose....

"Students for Life of America president Kristan Hawkins said that "our nation should be ashamed that their elected leaders lack the courage and fortitude to even put up a fight against forcing taxpayers to fork over half a billion a year to an organization whose CEO admits that she has lied in the past about conducting mammograms, makes money on the sale of the body parts of aborted babies and indulges in first class flights and lavish parties while ending the lives of nearly 900 prenatal children a day'"
