Washington
–
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
issued
the
statement
below
following
today’s
Senate
vote
on
a
continuing
resolution
(CR)
to
fund
the
government.
The
CR
extended
most
government
funding
at
current
levels
through
December
11,
while
redirecting
funding
for
Planned
Parenthood
to
community
health
centers.
In
South
Carolina,
there
are
more
than
160
community
health
centers
providing
quality
health
care
for
women.
“As
a
proud
pro-life
Senator,
today’s
vote
was
an
easy
one
for
me.
By
redirecting
Planned
Parenthood
funds
to
community
health
centers,
this
CR
both
ensures
women’s
health
care
is
protected
and
keeps
the
government
open.
I
am
extremely
disappointed
my
Democratic
colleagues
are
unwilling
to
stand
up
for
life
and
continue
to
filibuster
every
bill
brought
up
that
protects
life.”
Senate
Democrats
defeated
the
bill
47-52.
