Iowa House Votes To Defund Planned Parenthood"Patients, not politicians, should decide how and where they receive their medical care," Democratic Rep. Beth Wessel-Kroeschell said. "Stop playing politics with the health of Iowans. Stop the ideological train and fund the programs that are important to Iowa's most vulnerable citizens."
The $1.77 billion health and social service budget must still go to the state Senate, but the Republican majority is expected to support it, as is Gov. Terry Branstad.
