ABORTION

Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood, testified before Congress Tuesday.

On Tuesday, the health services organization will hold "National Pink Out Day," offering disease screening and launching an ad campaign to counter GOP criticism.

The U.S. government contributed 41 percent of the health services organization's funds in 2013 and 2014. Where does the money go?

Republicans couldn't drum up the 60 votes they needed in the Senate to advance a 20-week abortion ban bill.

McConnell would bring two budget bills up for consideration in the Senate as part of his strategy to avoid a government shutdown.

At the debate Thursday, he said, "future generations will look back and call us barbarians for murdering millions of babies."

Asked whether he would consider deploying the FBI or federal forces to crack down on abortion, Mike Huckabee responded: "We’ll see if I get to be president.”

Huckabee is the only Republican candidate to attend the AFL-CIO's meetings with 2016 contenders this week.

Stories of unplanned pregnancy were shared several thousands of times on social media network ahead of a Senate vote to defund Planned Parenthood centers.

The new eight-minute video features a woman who the Center for Medical Progress says is Mary Gatter, medical director of Planned Parenthood of Los Angeles. At what appears to be a restaurant, Gatter discusses the price of fetal tissue with two Center for Medical Progress actors.

During his 2014 gubernatorial reelection campaign, Walker said he favored a law that "leaves the final decision to a woman and her doctor."

Congress will look into whether the organization was involved in the sale of organs from aborted fetuses.
