Political Factoid
Indiana's Republican governor was trapped
whether or not he signed the anti-Planned
Parenthood bill before him.
- If he signed the Republican-passed bill,
which cuts off all government funding
for Planned Parenthood, Indiana would likely
lose $4 million in federal grants for
family planning services.
- If he vetoed it, he would undoubtedly antagonize
ardent social conservatives, who were already
upset with his public statements about the
importance of focusing on economic issues.
