When it comes to the debate over continuing to fund the government, we have heard a lot about Democrats holding back their support for a CR without protections for undocumented immigrants known as Dreamers.

From the GOP, there has been a lot of silence from many lawmakers on whether taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood will be in the new government funding measure.

No broad coverage or debates about whether GOP lawmakers will support a funding measure that continues to give taxpayer funds to an abortion provider.

GOP lawmakers under the Trump administration have helped to enact five measures keeping the federal government funded.  Each of these measures permitted federal funding of Planned Parenthood.

There is a deathly silence on this issue.

This silence may result in the sixth funding measure allowing federal funding of Planned Parenthood to continue.
