Pense Amendment (Abortion Bill)

We have all obviously heard about the threat of Planned Parenthood losing its government funding.  But just in case some might not know the many issues that are involved this article can help fill in the blanks.  Jonathan Alter gives a great commentary about how this bill is not actually going to do what it says, save taxpayers $360 million dollars.  And how this bill would prevent Planned Parenthood from more than just giving advise on abortions.  The government funds around one-third of Planned Parenthood’s budget and cutting it that much would stop it from providing birth control, condoms, pap smear, among others.  Read this article to fund out more facts and how this bill will only hurt women in the future.
