House Votes To Strip Planned Parenthood Of All Funding

The NY Daily News reports that "the GOP-led House passed an amendment Friday night that would eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood. The measure passed 240 to 185, with 11 Democrats voting in favor of the amendment. Seven Republicans bucked their party and voted against it. Planned Parenthood is already barred from using federal funds to perform most abortions, but is the largest abortion provider in the U.S. and a frequent target of pro-life advocates. The latest vote is being viewed as a victory for anti-abortion activists and Republican Rep. Mike Pence, who sponsored the legislation." Tweet
