Although no federal funds are allowed to be used for abortions, House Republicans have passed a bill that would remove PP's funding altogether. This means stripping people who otherwise couldn't afford it of their access to birth control (which would lower the abortion rate anyway), breast and gyno exams, STD tests, and safe sex information.
Though this will almost certainly not pass through the Senate, frankly I'm embarrassed that a law like this could pass in my country. I realize that this is just a tactic to close the doors of abortion clinics, but it is being done at the expense of real people's health, and not only that, but it would likely cause more abortions in the long run.
