Government Shutdown harms Anti-Abortion cause

Carol Tobias, President of the National Right to Life Committee, said that her group had not yet taken an official stance on opposing a government shutdown, because even though the Planned Parenthood undercover videos had surfaced, she believes there are flaws in the Republican plan to block any government-wide funding bill that spent any money on the company. Ms. Tobias even went on to say "Quite frankly, I think Planned Parenthood is a vile organization..." The Times reports that Tobias likes the idea of stand-alone measures, ones in which funding is only cut to Planned Parenthood affiliates who perform abortions.
