RedState: Mitch McConnell: sorry, we only have a majority, we can’t defund Planned Parenthood

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) 58% has announced that they do not have the votes to defund Planned Parenthood. I guess that cute little bill he gave Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) 87% to sponsor was just more fakery.

 

“We just don’t have the votes to get the outcome that we’d like,” McConnell said in an interview taped Monday with WYMT-TV, which serves eastern Kentucky. “I would remind all of your viewers, the way you make a law in this country, the Congress has to pass it, and the president has to sign it. The president’s made it very clear he’s not going to sign any bill that includes defunding of Planned Parenthood so that’s another issue that awaits a new president hopefully with a different point of view.”
