The Republican-controlled Ohio Senate voted 23-10 on party lines to advance the measure that would strip funding from the Planned Parenthood clinics in the state and any organization referring patients to them.

A companion measure introduced in the Republican-led Ohio House of Representatives has been assigned to a committee.

The vote in Ohio followed a Texas vote on Monday to bar Planned Parenthood from receiving state Medicaid money. A federal judge has blocked a Louisiana effort to cut Planned Parenthood funding in that state.

The Ohio bill was introduced in September after an anti-abortion group, the Center for Medical Progress, released secretly recorded videos it said showed Planned Parenthood officials discussing the illegal sale of aborted fetal tissue.

1. Was planned parenthood getting money from all 50 states and the federal government?

2. If I understand correctly, State funding comes into play when Medicaid is involved.

4. Sooner or later these stupid bills will end up in federal court.

And the CMP will end up as discredited as O'Keefe.

BUT...

There still are assholes who believe O'Keefe and his cronies.

Especially at Faux "news," other right-wing sources, and grandstanding politicians like Carnival Cruz.
