I think they will do it, and hope the democrats will get blamed, so they can take the white house, and sadly american voters are dumb.

The GOP would rather spend $24B (or more) to shut down govt just to prove a point regardless that NO FEDERAL MONEY may be spent on abortions. The fact that money from abortions are only 3% of Planned Parenthood's income, which is a separate division from Planned Parenthood's healthcare operation, escapes those righteous Republicans. I resent that the GOP continually shoves their brand of religion down my throat and spends Federal funds to do so. How much aid to the poor could $24B buy???? or go towards maintaining our national parks and wildlife refuges who see their budgets cut every year to the point they can no longer maintain our national treasures???

I doubt they will shut it down. there is too much debunked data out there to fall on to push for the defunding. The right wing are more interested in having people ideology split and against one another not against their ideology.
