The big political question for the remainder of this congressional term is whether Republicans will be able to pass a vote to defund Planned Parenthood. The more important question, though, is whether it is at all proper for them to try. As an advocate of small government, I'm generally sympathetic to anything that takes federal money away from someone. You had me at "defund." But as with so much else in this debate, the push to defund Planned Parenthood is an inadequate proxy for the real issues. It is poorly conceived, even as a protest against abortion or organ harvesting.
