Parliamentary rules pose a problem for the abortion language in the bill, however, as the Senate's "Byrd Rule" governing budget reconciliation debate requires that provisions in the healthcare bill be budget-related and the parliamentarian has indicated that the new tax credits would not make the cut.

The videos stoked the American abortion debate when they were released in 2015 and intensified congressional scrutiny of Planned Parenthood that has yet to subside. I am sick of explaining it provides millions of women with birth control, cancer screenings, and STI tests every year. The final bill must stop taxpayer funding to America's largest abortion chain, and it must prohibit the use of taxpayer subsidies to pay for insurance policies that pay for abortions.

According to Massachusetts Sen.

In a news release, Vicki Cowart, President of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, notes that the Senate bill would "block more than 30,000 women, men and young people in the Rocky Mountain region alone from accessing the trusted reproductive health care they rely on".

"The bill is going to make it hard to get birth control and then make it hard and more expensive to have the child", Worthing said. "They serve medical patients, lower income services and they offer a broader arrange of services than Planned Parenthood does but they don't perform abortions", said Gerardi.

Despite the official unveiling of the bill coming on Thursday, Planned Parenthood organized a preemptive demonstration on Wednesday night which resulted in over 60 "Pink Out" rallies in over 20 states. Although the Senate's "discussion draft" of the American Healthcare Act is certainly not ideal, it strikes an important blow to giant abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood. Without the right to life, truly the most basic of all human rights, they can not enjoy any other rights.

President Donald Trump has promised to defund Planned Parenthood and redirect its taxpayer funding to other community healthcare centers if the group continues to perform abortions.
