Ind. Gov't. - "Battle over Planned Parenthood heads to states, starting with Indiana"
That is the headline to this story today by Mark Guarino of the Christian Science Monitor. The subhead: "The Indiana legislature has passed a bill to defund Planned Parenthood. Gov. Mitch Daniels (R), a moderate with potential presidential aspirations, must decide whether to sign it."
"Daniels faces dilemma in Planned Parenthood bill," is the headline to this story by Philip Elliot of the AP that begins:
It's anybody's guess which Mitch Daniels will show up when it comes time to sign or veto an Indiana measure that cuts off $3 million a year in federal funding to Planned Parenthood in the state.The Indiana governor is a fiscal hawk who may not want to put at risk another $4 million a year in federal family planning grants that probably would be cut off because of the bill. But he's also a possible presidential candidate who may need to prove to GOP primary voters that he really is an anti-abortion social conservative.
