Indiana’s Planned Parenthood Uproar: Women React to New Medicaid Bill - The Daily Beast

Indiana’s Planned Parenthood Uproar: Women React to New Medicaid Bill - The Daily Beast: "On May 10, Gov. Mitch Daniels signed a bill that made Indiana the first state in history to cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood. The bill also bans abortion after 20 weeks and requires that Indiana women seeking abortions be read a statement advising that life begins at fertilization. Indiana State GOP Rep. Eric Turner told The Daily Beast, “I believe this will make us the most pro-life state in America.”
After a U.S. district judge denied Planned Parenthood’s request for a temporary hold on the measure, more than $50,000 in donations have poured in to the organization—enough to continue services through May 30. But when private funding runs out, the state’s 9,300 Medicaid recipients who rely on the clinics as their primary medical providers will be left in the lurch. Planned Parenthood has already filed an injunction against the state of Indiana, set to go to federal court June 6."
