(Arkansas) Senate Votes to Cut Planned Parenthood's Funding for HIV/AIDS Education

The Arkansas Senate has moved to cut off funding to Planned Parenthood for HIV/AIDS education efforts at local schools.

The sponsor says he doesn't want state money going to an organization that makes abortion referrals.

The same bill failed by one vote on Friday, but passed with a one-vote cushion on Tuesday.

Planned Parenthood supporters lined up outside the senate doors and filled the balcony to watch the debate.

The sponsor says he simply doesn't want state money to go to planned parenthood for sex education because of the group's ties to abortion, even if the education money isn't used for abortions

the Arkansas legislature. Those teabaggers are working overtime to flush Arkansas down the toilet. The same sort of shit is being done in my state right now and it feels like the Nazis have taken over.
