The state of Indiana has signed a bill in to defund Planned Parenthood and change the abortion laws.  Governor Mitch Daniels has already signed it, he broke his promise he made to millions of Indiana residents to stay focused on budget problems and not include himself in the radical legislation going on around the country.  

According to CBS News: "Daniels, who has positioned himself as a fiscal conservative focused on the deficit, created some controversy in 2010 when he called for a "truce" within the Republican party over social issues such as abortion."

Reproductive rights groups urged Daniels to veto the bill and are slamming him for considering the measure, given his call for a "truce" on social issues to no avail.  The bill will defund any Planned Parenthood clinic whether or not they actually perform abortions at that particular clinic or any other clinic in Indiana that may have other institutions that perform abortions. 

Daniels said he believes Planned Parenthood was the target because of its "agressive promotion of abortion..as opposed to simply providing services."  Which is an abolute LIE!

 Planned Parenthood petitioned the U.S. District court challenging the new legislation as unconstitutional and a violation of federal law. 

 A hearing on those issues is scheduled for June 6 and Judge Tanya Walton Pratt said she hopes to rule by July 1.

No other state bans the use of Medicaid at Planned Parenthood clinics -- in fact, federal law say states cannot pick and choose which health providers receive those Medicaid funds. The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration has expressed concern that if the bill passes, it could lose all of its $4 million in Medicaid family-planning funds, the Indianapolis Star reports, since the bill violates that rule.
