From the Alaska Dispatch.....
Politico reports that Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski has come out against U.S. House Republicans' proposed cuts of federal funding to Planned Parenthood. Based on a letter to the Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman and Vice Chairman and an email to a constituent, Murkowski defends Planned Parenthood and the Title X program -- which provides contraceptive services and education and is managed by The Office of Family Planning -- as providing "vital services" to women, especially those in lower income brackets. The defunding of Planned Parenthood has become a popular choice among Republicans as they look for programs to cut as they trim fat from the federal budget. "Planned Parenthood has provided women throughout the U.S. with important family planning and contraceptive services as well as screening for breast and cervical cancers for low-income women," Murkowski said in the email to the constituent.
