Florida becomes 12th state to defund Planned Parenthood

(CNSNews.com) – Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill Friday that defunds his state's abortion clinics – including those run by Planned Parenthood (PP) – making Florida the 12th state to block state taxpayer dollars from going to the nation's largest abortion provider.
The Termination of Pregnancy bill (HB 1411), sponsored by state Rep. Colleen Burton (R-Lakeland), was passed by the Republican-led Florida House (76-40) and state Senate (25-15), and was included in a batch of 67 bills sent to Scott for his signature.
