Planned Parenthood Benefit Removed from War Supplemental

WASHINGTON, June 20 /Christian Newswire/ -- A provision that would have 
benefited Planned Parenthood was stripped at the last minute from the 
War Supplemental Bill. This provision would have allowed for certain 
Planned Parenthood clinics and university healthcare centers to get 
drugs at nominal prices, allowing for easier and cheaper distribution of 
controversial drugs such as Plan B. The U.S. House of Representatives 
passed the bill last night to fund our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Wendy Wright, President of Concerned Women for America (CWA), said, "Our 
troops need funding, and their bill should not be loaded up with 
benefits for Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood already receives 
over $300 million in funding from federal, state and local governments. 
In 2006, Planned Parenthood reported a record revenue of $112 million. 
CWA is pleased this bill funds our troops instead of lining the already 
inflated pockets of Planned Parenthood."

/Concerned Women for America is the nation's largest public policy 
women's organization./
