Pete Ricketts approved a budget that prohibits Title X funding from going to abortion providers, directing $1.9 million toward centers that neither refer for nor perform abortions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Use of federal funds to perform abortions or to fund entities that perform abortions is prohibited by federal law, but Planned Parenthood claims it uses its $60 million in Title X funding and $390 million in Medicaid reimbursements for other services. In part because of that claim, many states\u2019 efforts to direct Medicaid or Title X funding away from the abortion giant are tied up in court battles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Undeterred by those challenges, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam signed two pieces of legislation that defund Planned Parenthood in different ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">The first bill codifies an administrative policy from 2011 that prioritizes federally qualified health centers over other facilities, including abortion providers. Tennessee\u2019s policy has directed $1.1 million away from Planned Parenthood every year, without directly targeting the abortion giant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">The second law could face a tough legal challenge, as it blocks state funds from going to abortion providers. Similar measures in other states have had mixed success. Of the 16 states that have either legislatively or judicially redirected some or all funding from Planned Parenthood to other entities, at least a half-dozen have had federal judges block the laws<\/span><span class=\"s1\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nebraska and Tennessee this month joined more than a dozen states that have cut funding for abortion
