Fishrrman's credo:
Reality is what it is. It is not what we believe it to be.
The "approach" you need is right there in front of you. You can recognize it for the reality it is, or keep believing that there "is something else".
The Republican Congress has but two effective tools with which to thwart the president:
1. The power of funding, or more correctly, the power to "refuse to fund",
and
2. The power to confirm judicial and administrative nominations, or more correctly, the power to "refuse to confirm".
Both of these can be quite effective, if the party would be willing to use them.
Aside from the above, if you want to punish Planned Parenthood, Congress (the Republican "majority" in Congress, that is), doesn't have many (any?) other options...
