Hill Republicans plan to kill Obama's order on taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood
By Philip Wegmann • 2/10/17 11:27 AM


House Republicans will vote next week to liberate states from an Obama rule requiring them to subsidize Planned Parenthood.

In one of his last actions, Obama effectively forced states to fund Planned Parenthood. Many states have policies barring state funds for the abortion giant, and Obama's 11th-hour executive order prohibited such policies.

Next week, the House plans to use the Congressional Review Act to repeal that Obama regulation — a first salvo in their fight to roll back Obama's legacy on abortion.

So, Congress can cancel executive orders?
