Metcalfe Calls on PA Taxpayers to Demand De-funding of Planned Parenthood from State Budget

HARRISBURG—An amendment to the 2006-07 state budget, sponsored by Representative Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler), to remove the controversial $4.43 million “Expanded Medical Services for Women” line item that allows the Department of Public Welfare to directly distribute state tax dollars to Planned Parenthood was narrowly defeated by a margin of 106-92 in the state House on Tuesday. ..

I encourage every taxpaying Pennsylvanian to contact his or her respective state lawmakers andespecially the governor's office at (717) 787-2500 to call for an end to allstate funding of Planned Parenthood. More
