As expected Gov. Braindead is shilling for anti-choice votes;
DES MOINES Gov. Terry Branstad has asked the Iowa Department of Public Health to research state practices to ensure no state taxpayer dollars are being used to pay for abortions, his office says.
Branstads request comes in response to a video showing a Planned Parenthood employee discussing the sale of fetal tissue for research.
Branstad was appalled by the video and found it disturbing, his spokesman said.
Because Gov. Branstad and Lt. Gov. Reynolds believe strongly that every life is worth protecting, they have asked the Iowa Department of Public Health to thoroughly review the funding the Legislature appropriated for womens health and the Family Planning Block Grant to ensure it does not and will not ever fund abortions or operations related to abortion procedures, Branstad spokesman Jimmy Centers said in a statement.

Ugh.
I don't see either of these clown worrying about human life after said life has exited the woman's body.

Not sure about terry, but based on the actions of others I think they just want to keep their crazy base pacified.

...that he and the Lt. Governor are sufficiently committed to their cause.
