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."
