Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.) released a labor, health and education
spending bill on Tuesday that would defund Planned Parenthood and Title
X, block the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, allow any
employer to deny women birth control coverage under the ACA for "moral
reasons" and increase spending for abstinence-only education.
Specifically, the bill
prevents federal dollars from flowing to Planned Parenthood clinics
until the family planning provider can certify that it no longer offers
abortions, even though Planned Parenthood only uses federal money for
non-abortion services.
The legislation also states that none of its funds can be used to
carry out the Title X family planning program or be used to "implement,
administer, enforce, or further the provisions" of the Affordable Care
Act.
