1. Political: GOP plan to repel obamacare. Strip planned parenthood of all federal funding. Some Republicans argue the women’s health care provider shouldn’t get any federal money because it provides abortion services. But it’s a misleading claim: The federal Hyde Amendment already bans federal dollars for abortions, except in very restricted cases.
