The farthest-reaching effort, in Indiana, is facing a legal challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign against\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.csmonitor.com\/tags\/topic\/Planned+Parenthood\" target=\"_self\">Planned Parenthood<\/a> from Congress to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.csmonitor.com\/tags\/topic\/Kansas\" target=\"_self\">Kansas<\/a> is part of the broadest legislative attack against funding for abortion services since abortion became legal in 1973, say activists.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve never seen this number of attacks [on abortion providers\u2019 funding] in one year,\u201d says\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.csmonitor.com\/tags\/topic\/Elizabeth+Nash\" target=\"_self\">Elizabeth Nash<\/a>, a public policy associate with the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.csmonitor.com\/tags\/topic\/Guttmacher+Institute\" target=\"_self\">Guttmacher Institute<\/a> in\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.csmonitor.com\/tags\/topic\/Washington%2c+DC\" target=\"_self\">Washington<\/a>, which advocates affordable reproductive health care. \u201cUsually, it\u2019s a couple of states. This is very different.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Has anyone else noticed that nearly every time an abortion supporter is quoted in the media these days, they sound utterly beleaguered and exasperated? I certainly have.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The effort to attack Planned Parenthood\u2019s financing received a major boost earlier this year, with the launching of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.csmonitor.com\/tags\/topic\/Expose+Planned+Parenthood\" target=\"_self\">Expose Planned Parenthood<\/a> \u2013 a coalition of antiabortion groups that alleged Planned Parenthood colluded in the sexual exploitation of minors. One of the groups in the campaign released \u201csting\u201d videos that it said provided evidence of this collusion.<\/p>\n<p>The coalition called for Planned Parenthood&#8217;s defunding by Congress. House Republicans responded by pushing to eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood in the 2011 budget, though they eventually failed.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, states have picked up the torch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Happy to help. We all do what we can.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;\" title=\"Suspicious Characters\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.csmonitor.com\/var\/ezflow_site\/storage\/images\/media\/images\/0609-planned-parenthood-indiana.jpg\/10306855-1-eng-US\/0609-PLANNED-PARENTHOOD-INDIANA.JPG_full_600.jpg\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\" \/>Indiana, of course, is where all eyes are turned right now. I&#8217;m still surprised no one in the media has commented on the audacity of Planned Parenthood of Indiana to sue to maintain their government funding, as if they are entitled to taxpayer dollars. Someone should point out to CEO Betty Cockrum that the &#8220;entitlement&#8221; in entitlement programs like Medicaid is for the poor, not for big, wealthy operations like PP. Then again, this is the woman who could defend her organization with a straight face after this:<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"425\" height=\"349\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/hLDGFzdPjBU?version=3&amp;hl=en_US\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed width=\"425\" height=\"349\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/hLDGFzdPjBU?version=3&amp;hl=en_US\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>State-level efforts to ban or restrict abortion and protect unborn children aren&#8217;t the only exciting things going on on a state level these days.
