Marco Rubio Demands Obama Admin Disclose All Sources of Planned Parenthood Funding
… Marco Rubio… today demanded information from the Obama administration on all of various ways it funds the nation’s biggest abortion business.
On average, Planned Parenthood receives approximately $500 million a year in taxpayer funds, as a GAO report indicated last year.

The abortion giant receives $1.2 billion from Medicaid, $201 million from the Title X family planning program $40.6 million from Title XX Social Services block grants and $25.9 million from the Title V Maternal and Child health Services block grant.
