Iowa may absorb $3M cost of cutting Planned Parenthood funds [View all]

Ugh

Iowa Republicans may order the state to foot the bill for a new family planning program that excludes funding for Planned Parenthood.

Key GOP lawmakers confirmed Monday they plan to use state money to fund the estimated $3 million program, which requires Iowa to forfeit millions in federal Medicaid dollars.

Such a move would tap the Iowa Department of Human Services to pay for the program amid separate budget cuts, raising criticism from Democrats that the GOP plan is short-sighted.
