Hands off our taxpayer-funded baby-killing slaughterhouse!

(The Hill) — A top Democrat said Tuesday evening that some of the most controversial “riders” attached to a House spending bill would be a dealbreaker in the Senate.

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said riders to defund Planned Parenthood and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wouldn’t fly in the upper chamber.

“The bottom line is that whether it’s Planned Parenthood or EPA, we will not accept those riders,” Schumer said on MSNBC. “And any thought to the contrary is wrong.”

“We believe that they don’t belong in a budget bill,” he added. “There can be debate on these issues. We believe they would be defeated in the Senate.”

House Republicans included a number of riders — measures attached to spending legislation to pursue a broader policy goal, often having to do with social issues — in their legislation funding the government the rest of this year.

The most controversial were those to cut off federal funding to Planned Parenthood, because it provides abortion services, and the EPA.
