AlHijjah 5, 1436, Sep 19, 2015, SPA -- The US government was facing its second shutdown in two years after the House of Representatives on Friday voted to freeze federal funding for an organization that provides women's health services and some abortions, dpa reported. Nearly all Republicans in the House and two Democrats voted for the legislation (241-187), which would block federal funding to Planned Parenthood for one year. The vote is largely symbolic, as Democrats have enough votes in the Senate to block it. -- SPA 03:35 LOCAL TIME 00:35 GMT تغريد
