Funny, I thought this was supposed to be some great pro life administration.

Is anyone really surprised by this?

If Republicans dug their feet in on defunding Planned Parenthood, the government would most certainly be shutting down.

Well, sometimes you have to shut down the government to get your agenda through. Just the way it is. And with how important defunding PP is, the GOP needs to do it.

But, why did we compromise with the Democrats at all?  We have majorities in both chambers- there is no reason to give murderers money to murder more people!  I'm disgusted!  Maybe we can get a coalition of the far-right (acting for the right reasons) and the far-left (acting for the wrong reasons) to stop this thing, but I am devastated right now.

You can't do CRs through reconciliation. You can choose to get 8 Democrats by compromise or by shutting down the government until Dems give in, but either way, you need 8 democratic senators on board.
