House approves bill to defund Planned Parenthood

The U.S. House voted to halt the taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood. H.R. 3762 places a one-year freeze on certain federal payments to the abortion giant, and blocks at least 89 percent of Planned Parenthood's federal funding. The final vote count was 240-189 with all six Missouri Republicans voting yes; both Democrats voted no. The measure now heads to the U.S. Senate.

Abortion supporters claim that funding PP is necessary for women's health care, but when PP is defunded with our federal tax dollars, women will have at least  588 places to go for a broader range of high quality health care services.
