Vote Smart's Synopsis:

Vote to pass a bill that rescinds funds from Planned Parenthood.

    • The woman’s pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest; or
    • The woman suffers from a physical disorder, physical injury, or illness that would place the woman in danger of death unless an abortion is performed.
