| | Senate Democrats on Monday blocked an attempt by Republican leaders to cut off federal funding for Planned Parenthood. Senators voted 53-46 for a bill from Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, to stop the non-profit group from receiving any federal money from Congress. Supporters needed 60 votes to advance the legislation. The defunding effort followed the release of controversial videos by anti-abortion activists showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing procedures for obtaining and selling organs from aborted fetuses for medical research.
