TweetArizona bans funding to Planned Parenthood in abortion fight.

Way to go Ariziona Governor Brewer. It seems like this lady is the only Governor with any balls. First she takes on immigration and now this. Even though I have a spiritual and moral problem with abortion, which some of you may not (your choice), I also have a finincail prolem with it. Why should I have to pay for someone who is to stupid or lazy to wear a condom. Take personal accountability for yourself and pay your own damn bills.

Thank you Gov. Brewer. Please call Gov Quinn for Illinois. He is a complete idiot and could use your help.


PHOENIX (Reuters) - Arizona Governor Jan Brewer on Friday signed into law a bill banning abortion providers like Planned Parenthood from receiving money through the state, her office said in a statement.

The Republican-backed Whole Woman's Health Funding Priority Act cuts off funding for family planning and health services delivered by Planned Parenthood clinics and other organizations offering abortions.

"By signing this measure into law I stand with the majority of Americans who oppose the use of taxpayer funds for abortion," Brewer said in a statement.

Arizona joins six other states with similar laws, officials said. But three of those states -- Indiana, Kansas and North Carolina -- are facing legal challenges.

Arizona does not provide tax dollars for abortion, but backers said the law is needed to make sure that no indirect monies are funneled to organizations like Planned Parenthood that provide abortion and other health services. There were no estimates of how much money is involved.

But officials at Planned Parenthood Arizona, the state's largest abortion provider, said the law means that thousands of women in the state may now go without life-saving cancer screenings, birth control and basic health care.

"We are most concerned about the women and men who could be forced to go without health care as a result of this bill," Bryan Howard, Planned Parenthood Arizona's president and CEO, said in a prepared statement.

"We remain committed to providing Arizona communities with the professional, nonjudgmental and confidential health care they have relied on for 78 years," Howard said.

The anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony List called the bill a "major victory" in its fight to bar funding of abortion providers.

"Abortion-centered businesses like Planned Parenthood do not need or deserve taxpayer dollars," Marilyn Musgrave, vice president of government affairs for the organization, said in a written statement.

While Planned Parenthood suffered a setback in Arizona, it won a temporary battle in court on Friday with Texas. A federal appeals court ruled that the organization could participate in a health program for low-income women in Texas, despite a new state rule there that bans affiliates of abortion providers.

yessir and those funds come out of our pockets and take away from other programs that could be helping our country. we are in a very very sad state of affairs and we allow it to continue to get worse. how about we implement the drug testing and also maybe make those that "cant get or find work" could do labor for the state by picking up garbage or some other task that city workers do. i am just throwing out ideas that i believe would shorten up those who just line up for their checks or get funds put into their cards automatically. no workie for the state no money for the bank haha.

Tweetthere are alot of ways too end these programs...

i also think those on welfare not be a loud to vote.. thats a conflict of intrest... why would you vote for the guy who wants to end welfare or put any type of restrictions on welfare....

as long as the country and tax payers are taking care of you, you lost your right to vote you want to vote then be a tax payer and give something to this country...
