Funding the US Government

For John, BLUF:  And they will say it is the fault of the Republicans.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Senate Democrats on Thursday blocked legislation to keep the government funded through Dec. 11 because it would have also stripped out funding for Planned Parenthood.

So, to make sure I have this straight—the Democrats in the US Senate said it would be better to shut down the whole US Government rather than defund Planned Parenthood?

I wonder what else they would take such a stand on?  Funding embassy security?  Food Stamps?  Uncle Sam's military?  Corps of Engineers flood control efforts?  Amtrak?  CDC?
