A county in Montana has shut down funding for a clinic that provides healthcare to mostly low-income women. Commissioners in Ravalli County voted Friday to refuse $50,000 in federal funds to operate the county family planning clinic, which provides birth control, annual exams and other services to roughly 400 women, who will now see those services cut off at the end of the month. Some commissioners said they objected to the fact that minors could receive healthcare under the program without their parents being notified first.
