Senate rejects House Republican spending bill

The Senate today rejected the House GOP's spending package -- a spending bill that included the controversial provision to strip Planned Parenthood of its federal funding. The failed spending measure contained the Pence amendment, a ban on abortion funding in D.C. and a host of other socially conservative spending priorities.

The Senate also rejected a second plan floated by Senate Democrats that would have cut $5 billion dollars. POLITICO's David Rogers reports the burden now shifts back "onto Speaker John Boehner to show more flexibility in budget talks with the White House and Democrats."
