WASHINGTON – Senate Democrats on Tuesday blocked a Republican proposal to provide $1.1 billion to fight the Zika virus, faulting the Republican for packing the measure with restrictions on Planned Parenthood money and changes to policies on pesticide spraying. The nearly party-line 52-48 vote Tuesday left the Senate short of the 60 votes required to advance the measure.
