"Planned Parenthood appears to be weathering scrutiny by state legislatures that began in the wake of undercover “sting” videos by anti-abortion activists, as investigations in states across the country have repeatedly turned up no evidence of wrongdoing."

Republicans want to appeal to primary voters by criticizing what they see as bad behavior, without driving moderates toward the Democratic nominee in the November 2016 election.
"The Reuters/Ipsos poll shows they should be cautious on women's health issues.
Seventy-three percent of respondents said they supported federal funding for an unnamed group to provide women's health exams, 69 percent backed federal dollars for prenatal services, and 59 percent were in favor of it for contraception.
When the question was asked a different way, more participants said they backed federal dollars for Planned Parenthood specifically to provide those services.
Democrats and Republicans supported federal funding for the services, even when Planned Parenthood was named.
Overall, 54 percent of those in the poll supported federal funding of Planned Parenthood, and 26 percent opposed it."
This support may actually increase as they are further cleared of any wrongdoing, so now what?
