Abortion Foes' New Tactic: Go After Funding For Planned Parenthood

Abortion Foes' New Tactic: Go After Funding For Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood receives about $335 million a year -- a third of its budget -- from government grants and contracts to subsidize contraception, sex education and non-abortion-related health care for poor women and teenagers.
