No Halt to Planned Parenthood Fight

No Halt to Planned Parenthood Fight - NYTimes.com: House Republicans may have lost their battle against Planned Parenthood in the compromise with Democrats on a spending bill agreed to last Friday, but they will continue to fight the war. On Tuesday, the House majority leader, Eric Cantor, said Republicans would continue to try to strip Planned Parenthood of all of its federal funding, and suggested that the matter could be used as a bargaining chip in debate over a budget for the 2012 fiscal year and the question of whether to lift the federal debt ceiling.

Editor: Hmmm. "Bargaining chip" doesn't have the heft of a "line drawn in the sand."
