Senate blocks late term abortion ban as funding showdown looms
Senate Democrats thwarted a GOP bid to ban late term abortions while a funding dispute risks a government shutdown. McConnell set a Thursday vote on a stopgap bill to fund the government through December 1, which would block Planned Parenthood funds for a year, likely facing Democratic objection. The clash intensifies amid presidential politics and Pope Francis upcoming address.
