Shelby Opposed P~Parenthood and CR Funding

Meet Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL)

U.S. Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL) released the following statement after the Senate’s vote on the Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the government through mid-December:

“While I believe that it is critical for the government to stay open and running, I opposed this short-term funding measure because it does not put an end to taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood. 

Senate Democrats have continually blocked our efforts to ensure that taxpayer dollars are focused on women’s health care and protecting the innocent lives of the unborn. 

I will continue to support pro-life policies while also pushing for conservative priorities in our appropriations measures.”

The Senate bill was supported by all Democratic Senators while the Republicans split 32-20 in favor of the resolution. Two Republican Senators (Rubio and Graham) did not show up for the vote.

The final vote was 78-20 and the measure passed the Senate.
