On the recordSeptember 12, 2016
my staff has been working diligently to work with the majority to come up with a way to go forward on spending. We especially need to take care of that, but we also need to address Zika funding. I am not going to lay down any markers here today because we are still trying to work something out, but I do want to say this. Republicans need to get away from their vendetta against Planned Parenthood. We are not going to play any funny games and try to find the money someplace else. Planned Parenthood should not be part of Zika funding. More than 2 million women received care at Planned Parenthood clinics around the country last year. They didn't go there for abortions. They went there because they needed help with their health care. The women needed that, and they still need it. They need it more than ever now with this scourge that is sweeping our country, which is Zika. I just want to make sure that everyone understands that we are not going to play any games with Planned Parenthood. It is through. Do your vendetta someplace else because it will not be on the Zika funding. Koch Brothers Mr.…
