Currently, Congress has two weeks left to decide something before the government will go into yet again an other shutdown. One proposed plan to cut spending proposed by the GOP was to cut federal funding to any Planned Parenthood affiliate and to impose criminal penalties on any healthcare provider who doesn't give treatment to any baby who survives an abortion attempt. The bill is not expected to make it very far in the Senate, but it will ignite outrage against Planned Parenthood after a couple of undercover videos show that the organization is illegally selling fetal tissue to researchers for a profit. According to the Times, this video led to many Republicans in both the House and Senate stating that they would not vote for any funding bill that included money being sent to Planned Parenthood.
