Senator McConnell also said that the U.S. Senate would have a vote on the measure before the August recess.
“In light of the deeply disturbing Planned Parenthood videos that have stunned the nation in recent weeks, I have assembled a working group consisting of Senators Paul, Ernst and Lankford and they met in my office earlier today. It is our plan to have a vote on a measure to defund Planned Parenthood sometime before Congress leaves for the August work period,” Senator McConnell said.
