Diana DeGette Advocates for Planned Parenthood Funding Amid Medicaid Debate

Published | Video Starts at 00:06

Thank you so much. Well, let me say this. Under current law, Planned Parenthood or any other medical provider is not allowed to use Medicaid funds for abortion. I don't like that because abortion is health care. But, however, that's the law. So when my colleague from Tennessee claims that you're just stopping them from providing abortions by defunding Planned Parenthood from using Medicaid, that is incorrect. (00:06–00:16)

CLAIM

Asserts that Medicaid funds cannot be used for abortion by Planned Parenthood or any medical provider.
