WASHINGTON — Two U.S. Senators have introduced a bill that would redirect more than $500 million in federal funding from the abortion and contraceptive giant Planned Parenthood to women’s health care providers that do not perform abortions.
As previously reported, the organization Live Action found in an investigation that the vast majority of Planned Parenthood locations do not offer prenatal care, and ultrasounds are only conducted in order to perform a guided abortion.
Sen. Lankford opined in a statement that the federal government should not be distributing millions in taxpayer funds to a controversial organization such as Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood has not yet released its 2015-2016 report for unknown reasons.
