8:11Now PlayingThe House has voted to defund Planned Parenthood. This is largely a symbolic vote as the President would veto any such legislation. Republicans are grandstanding saying that Planned Parenthood is profiting from selling fetal body parts, using the controversial highly edited videos released a month ago as evidence. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
Why are Republicans so adamant about stopping abortion? Will this effect their chances of getting the women’s vote in 2016? Let us know in the comments below.

“House Republicans voted Friday to strip tens of millions of federal dollars from enemy No. 1 – Planned Parenthood. Similar efforts have already failed in the Senate — and President Obama is certain to veto any such bill if it came to his desk — but the vote gave legislators an opportunity to reignite a fight against the country's largest abortion provider.
The abortion-defunding fight wasn’t always waged this way.
In fact, Republicans used to have a more ambitious line of attack, one that aimed to take on all providers of the procedure. But since 2011, they’ve shifted strategy. Instead of focusing on a hazy notion of abortion providers, they created a clear enemy in Planned Parenthood.
The chief outcome of this strategy was success in states, where local legislators have followed up and voted to defund Planned Parenthood. At the same time, anti-abortion outside groups have kept up the same cause, focusing on the nonprofit as a prime target in the fight to end abortion.”
