PHOENIX (Reuters) - Arizona Governor Jan Brewer on Friday signed into law a bill banning abortion providers like Planned Parenthood from receiving money through the state, her office said in a statement.
The Republican-backed Whole Woman's Health Funding Priority Act cuts off funding for family planning and health services delivered by Planned Parenthood clinics and other organizations offering abortions.
"By signing this measure into law I stand with the majority of Americans who oppose the use of taxpayer funds for abortion," Brewer said in a statement.

By making the argument that Arizona is taking away health care form women, they make themselves the guilty party by holding all other health care hostage becaause they want to provide free abortions. I see two clear alternatives. Charge the patient full price for the procedure and get your funding back to pay for your other health services, os simply send those patients to another clinic that is not taxpayer funded ans does not accept insurance for that procedure. In other words, those who have refused to use other birth control methods need to be paying for their own mistakes or put their babies up for adoption. There are many very deserving couples who are not able to get pregnant.
In other words, its time to modify yourselves.
good move.
