To say nothing of the possibility of the gains made, as noted in your item earlier on teen pregnancy rates, being undermined in the future in those states which are now attacking Planned Parenthood. And I'll bet that if you asked these people, like Willard and others, who can only see the work of the devil when they look at Planned Parenthood, they will deny that there is any connection between Planned Parenthood and the drop in teen pregnancies in this country. They'd more likely trot out some crap about 'abstinence only' education finally taking hold or some other such crap.

Another move that will help Obama win in Arizona.

AZ Cuts Planned Parenthood Funds

In a move designed to appease anti-abortion advocates, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed into law Friday a bill that cuts state taxpayer money to Planned Parenthood. Use of public funds for abortions is already restricted in most cases in the state, but the new law will ensure that taxpayer money isn’t going indirectly to support abortion services.

Planned Parenthood Arizona has said that the funding cuts will endanger its other health services, including preventive health care for close to 20,000 women. 
Planned Parenthood said it is considering challenging the state law, which was passed by Arizona’s Republican-dominated legislature, in the courts.
