$363 million last year

Seven Californians are co-sponsors

U.S. Rep. Mike Pence, R-Indiana, has introduced a bill that would cut off federal funding to Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers. The bill, the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act, has 127 co-sponsors, including seven from California.

"It is morally wrong to end an unborn human life by abortion,” said Pence in a prepared statement. “It is also morally wrong to take the taxpayer dollars of millions of pro-life Americans and use them to promote abortion at home or abroad.”

"Last year,” said Pence, “Planned Parenthood received more than $363 million in revenue from government grants and contracts. During that same time, they performed an unprecedented 324,008 abortions. The largest abortion provider in America should not also be the largest recipient of federal funding under Title X.”

Pence said his bill would “prevent any family planning funds under Title X from going to Planned Parenthood or other organizations that perform abortions. It will ensure that abortion providers are not being subsidized with federal tax dollars.”
