On February 18, 2011, the U.S. House of Representatives adopted, 240-185, an amendment offered by Congressman Mike Pence (R-In.) to cut off federal funds to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and 102 named PPFA affiliates. National Right to Life Committee and Right to Life of Michigan supported the amendment.
Planned Parenthood is the nation's largest abortion provider, reporting 324,008 abortions in 2008, with plans to expand their abortion business. According to press reports, PPFA has recently mandated that all of its regional affiliates must provide abortions by the end of 2013.
