Murder in Indiana

Ladies and Gentlemen, your Republican party:

Planned Parenthood will stop treating Medicaid patients and lay off two of its three STD specialists after the donations it had been using to replace state funds ran out Monday.

A tough state anti-abortion law cutting off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood of Indiana went into effect May 10, but more than $100,000 in donations has helped the health-services provider stay open and continue serving Hoosiers on Medicaid — until this week.

A total of 85,000 Hoosiers receive services at Planned Parenthood of Indiana’s 28 health centers. If the law stands, Planned Parenthood says, it must close eight of them: two Indianapolis locations and clinics in Bedford, Hammond, Michigan City, New Albany, Terre Haute and Muncie.

Someone needs to explain to me how people can call themselves “pro-life” while sentencing 9,300 Medicaid patients to a fight to get health care from other local providers, providers who may not accept Medicaid patients.
