Joe Heck Votes To Defund Planned Parenthood

Rather than work across the aisle to ensure the government stays open past September 30, Congressman Joe Heck and other extremist House Republicans continued driving towards a government shutdown over the issue of funding for Planned Parenthood.

Today, Heck voted for a partisan bill to defund Planned Parenthood that has zero chance of being passed by the Senate or signed into law. By supporting the bill, Heck is wasting precious time before the September 30 deadline on partisan show votes instead of finding bipartisan solutions to keep the government funded.

“Joe Heck accomplished two things today – first he proved he is willing to deny access to basic preventive healthcare for Nevada women and second he showed that he prioritizes politics over keeping the government open,” said DSCC National Press Secretary Sadie Weiner.  “Today’s vote was nothing more than a partisan show vote that wastes time as Republicans lead us closer to a government shutdown, and Nevada deserves better than someone like Congressman Heck who cares more about Washington political games than standing up for Nevadans.”
