AZ Cuts Planned Parenthood Funds

In a move designed to appease anti-abortion advocates, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed into law Friday a bill that cuts state taxpayer money to Planned Parenthood. Use of public funds for abortions is already restricted in most cases in the state, but the new law will ensure that taxpayer money isn’t going indirectly to support abortion services. Planned Parenthood Arizona has said that the funding cuts will endanger its other health services, including preventive health care for close to 20,000 women. Planned Parenthood said it is considering challenging the state law, which was passed by Arizona’s Republican-dominated legislature, in the courts.

of what happened when Komen tried it. Let's hope this continues to help put AZ into play in the election.

Do they really have that many evangelicals there like one might see in states like OK or TN or AR?

it's pretty much what Texas has already done. However, the TX law is on hold due to an injunction.

.. the "majority" of people are behind this.

The vast majority of people are not pro life... just the vocal and rabidly violent minority
that make big waves and hold way too much power.
