Iowa's governor has proposed cutting funding for needy kids [View all]

And still Republicans will call our fornicate face governor the greatest thing since sliced bread for doing this

Iowa's governor has proposed cutting funding for needy kids as part of his plan to defund Planned Parenthood.

It's a rare step even as Republican-dominated states grapple with whether to sacrifice federal dollars to lessen the organization's influence.

Iowa receives more than $3 million in federal Medicaid funding that it must spend on family planning services, and some of that is tied to Planned Parenthood.

According to budget projections reviewed by The Associated Press, Republican Gov. Terry Branstad has recommended taking $2.8 million previously given to child and family services so it can be redirected to create a roughly $3.3 million program that distributes family planning money to organizations that do not perform abortions.


Fornicate you, Mr. Branstad.
