Madison — The state Assembly approved bills Thursday slicing into Planned Parenthood's funding and making it easier for landlords to kick out tenants when crimes occur on their properties.
With all Republicans in favor and all Democrats opposed, the Assembly approved the bill 61-35 and sent it to Gov. Scott Walker, a longtime opponent of Planned Parenthood.
Under the bill, SB 238, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin would lose about $4 million a year because it would put restrictions on how much clinics affiliated with abortion providers could be reimbursed for dispensing birth control.
