Congressman Mike Pence introduces bill to stop abortion providers from getting family planning funds

On January 7, Congressman Mike Pence (R-IN) introduced H.R. 217, a bill to prohibit family planning funds from going to organizations that provide abortions.

"The largest abortion provider in America should not also be the largest recipient of federal funding under Title X......

The Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act would deny any family planning funds under Title X from going to Planned Parenthood or other organizations that perform abortion. It would ensure that abortion providers are not subsidized with federal tax dollars."
