MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A proposal that attempts to prevent Planned Parenthood in Wisconsin from qualifying for federal grant money has cleared a committee and could be debated by the full Wisconsin state Assembly as soon as next week. The Assembly Health Committee on Tuesday voted 7-4 to pass the proposal, with all Republicans in support and Democrats against. The panel also passed another measure along party lines that would cost Planned Parenthood about $4 million a year by raising the cost of birth control drugs it receives through Medicaid. Democrats argue the bills will reduce access to health care services, making it more difficult for low-income men and women to get family planning care. But Republican supporters say other entities that don’t provide abortions will offer health care services.
