The votes may be over, but it is an issue that will continue to generate controversy and attention. The House voted 241-185 to stop federal funding for Planned Parenthood, the world's largest abortion provider.
Unfortunately, the legislation was voted down in the Senate. With a vote of 58-42, the Senate agreed to allow the federal funding to proceed - despite the fact that roughly two out of three Americans disapprove of taxpayer funding for abortion.
It’s a vote that many U.S. Senators will have to answer for. A vote to allow more than $350 million in taxpayer funds to flow to Planned Parenthood - the largest abortion provider in the world.
In total, there are 58 Senators (including five Republicans) who voted to support Planned Parenthood, and you can view the entire vote list here.
