Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker signed two bills defunding abortion giant Planned Parenthood into law Thursday morning, making the Badger State the ninth in the union to take action to eliminate the group’s taxpayer funding.<\/p>\n

Walker approved AB 310, a measure that will shift taxpayer funding away from abortion facilities to comprehensive health centers, eliminating $3.5 million in public funding to Planned Parenthood. The pro-life governor also signed SB 238, which only permits the abortion industry\u00a0to bill Medicaid for acquisition costs and dispensing fees, cutting\u00a0$4.5 million from Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n

The Republican\u00a0governor signed the measures at Life’s Connection, a pro-life pregnancy resource center in Waukesha.<\/p>\n

“We want to make sure as taxpayers, whether it’s state funds or federal funds that come through the state of Wisconsin, that they’re used in the way that’s responsible and reasonable,” Walker stated before approving the bills.<\/p>\n

SB 328\u00a0was approved by the state Senate in January on a party line vote, and passed the state Assembly last week. AB 310\u00a0\u00a0was approved by the Assembly last year and the Senate in January.<\/p>\n

Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Casey Mattox praised the passage of the two measures.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlanned Parenthood shouldn\u2019t be profiting off of women and taxpayers. Yet, this scandal-plagued organization has accepted more than $4 billion in taxpayer subsidies over the past decade while reporting more than $765 million in \u2018excess revenues.'”<\/p>\n

There are seven health care clinics for every Planned Parenthood facility in the state of Wisconsin, ADF reports.<\/p>\n

Wisconsin Right to Life Executive Director Heather Weininger also applauded the defunding bills.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the admission of Planned Parenthood\u2019s President and CEO Teresa Huyck in her deposition for Planned Parenthood v. Van Hollen, in 2012 alone Planned Parenthood performed about 4,000 abortions, approximately 60\u00a0percent\u00a0of all Wisconsin abortions in that year,\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
