Abortion is just one of many procedures, and the law bars Planned Parenthood from using tax money for it.<\/p>\n<p>In the budget maelstrom Friday stood Planned Parenthood Federation of America, a 90-year-old organization now part of a decades-long congressional battle over abortion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Republicans wanted any legislation keeping the government operating to bar federal dollars for Planned Parenthood, the nation&#8217;s largest provider of abortions.
