Anti-abortion groups want new Planned Parenthood defunding bill

More than 70 anti-abortion groups want congressional Republicans to introduce a new bill that defunds Planned Parenthood after a similar effort included in an Obamacare repeal bill died.

The demand from 77 national and state groups comes as the GOP tries to figure out how to proceed on repealing the Affordable Care Act. A bill that would have partially repealed the law and defunded the women’s health and abortion provider was pulled last Friday because of insufficient support from moderates and conservatives.
