States Seek to Cut Planned Parenthood Funds After Video

HeadlineAug 18, 2015

This comes as states are ramping up efforts to defund Planned Parenthood following an anti-choice group’s release of heavily edited videos showing Planned Parenthood employees discussing the sharing of fetal tissue with researchers, a practice Planned Parenthood says is performed legally and never for profit. On Friday, Arkansas became the fifth state to try to end its contract with Planned Parenthood for low-income residents covered by Medicaid.
