Marlin Stutzman in which is addresses misinformation about the abortion provider defunding bill that passed in Indiana:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Stutzman Leads Charge to Defend Indiana\u2019s Pro-Life Law<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<em>One hundred Members of Congress Sign Letter to HHS<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Washington, D.C. &#8211; Today, Congressman Marlin Stutzman (IN-03) led a bipartisan, congressional effort to defend Indiana\u2019s Medicaid Plan, with ninety-nine members of Congress joining in sending a letter to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Administrator Donald Berwick. With a clear voice, the group formally protested the Obama Administration\u2019s rejection of Indiana\u2019s pro-life Medicaid plan and calls for a reversal of the decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve called on HHS to face the facts,\u201d said Congressman Stutzman. \u201cContrary to the spin put out by Planned Parenthood, Indiana\u2019s law does not change Medicaid benefits. It would only change where Hoosiers would receive those benefits. Given the fact that Indiana has already identified eight-hundred providers who will still provide Medicaid services, the administration seems more interested in taking marching orders from Planned Parenthood than serving Hoosiers. This fits into a troubling pattern of federal hostility toward state governments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On May 10, 2011, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels signed HEA1210 into law. The law prohibits state and federal funds from going to \u201cany entity that performs abortions or maintains or operates a facility where abortions are performed\u201d except for hospitals or ambulatory surgical centers. Two days later, Indiana submitted a modified Medicaid State Plan that reflected changes made by HEA1210. Regrettably, Dr. Donald Berwick, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), promptly refused to approve the plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe tremendous support I\u2019ve seen in Washington goes to show that this isn\u2019t a \u2018Hoosiers-only\u2019 issue,\u201d continued Stutzman. \u201cAcross the country, many pro-life victories are being won on the state level. I\u2019m going to fight to make sure that this administration doesn\u2019t make an example of Hoosiers who only ask that their taxes don\u2019t fund the abortion business. I\u2019m confident that Indiana will continue to defend the law and I\u2019ll continue to lend support in any way I can. With Governor Daniels\u2019 signature, HEA1210 remains in effect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Congressman Stutzman represents the 3rd Congressional District of Indiana and serves on the House Committee on Agriculture, the House Committee on the Budget and the House Committee on Veterans\u2019 Affairs, Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity.\u00a0 Indiana\u2019s 3rd District contains all of DeKalb, Kosciusko, Lagrange, Noble, Steuben, and Whitley counties, as well as parts of Allen and Elkhart counties.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">####<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following is a press release from Rep.
