BREAKING: House Votes to Overturn Obama Regulation Forcing States to Fund Planned Parenthood"You don't have to be [pro-life] to support this resolution. You just have to support the 10th Amendment."
Title X money comes from the government to fund "family planning services," but technically not abortion. Before he left office, Obama pushed through an HHS regulation that essentially forces states to give Planned Parenthood Title X funding.

"Without this bill, states would be forced to fund the abortion industry by federal bureaucrats," said Rep. Luke Messer, R-IN.
