NEW YORK (AP) — Though congressional Republicans' bid to defund Planned Parenthood was vetoed by President Barack Obama, pro-life activists and politicians are achieving a growing portion of their goal with an aggressive state-by-state strategy.
Over the past year, more than a dozen states have sought to halt or reduce public funding forPlanned Parenthood. The latest to join the offensive is Florida; GOP Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill Friday that bars Planned Parenthood from accessing state funds.
