The goal is to defund Planned Parenthood for a year which means tax payers would stop paying.

Why Planned Parenthood Should not be Defunded by the Government “Trying to block women from getting access to contraception or defunding Planned Parenthood is completely nonsensical from a policy standpoint.” - Richard Carmona, american physician and nurse.

There have been many ups and downs for Planned Parenthood. They have opened up opportunities for many and have also made many mistakes along the way including topics on birth control, abortions, and money. Birth control has always been an up and down controversy in America. In the 1900’s birth control, in the form of condoms, was around but no one was allowed to use it due to the Comstock Act.
