Jacque pushes bills against Planned Parenthood
A De Pere Republican says he's going to introduce two bills that could eliminate at least half of the funding Planned Parenthood gets in Wisconsin.
Rep. Andre Jacque claims the group is over-billing the state, through Medicaid, for drugs it gets at a discount. He says the first proposal would deal with that. Jacque says the second would let lawmakers direct specific funding to public health agencies instead.
Jacque hopes a recently released video showing a Planned Parenthood employee talking about selling fetal tissue will give the proposals momentum.
