- Planned Parenthood isthe country's largest

abortion provider andsays it is concerned now

about healthcare for low-income women.

Our Heather Sells is following this story

and joins us now with more.

So how will the loss of $60 million

affect Planned Parenthood's bottom line?

- Right, and that's what I was wondering.

Like, that's a good amount,but I want to point out

some key numbers toyou that Melanie Israel

with the Heritage Foundation pointed out.

And that is that last year $245 million

in excess revenue is whatPlanned Parenthood reported.

630 million in private contributions,

and they received 500 million in Medicaid.

So you know, we'll see going forward,

but in light of those kind of numbers

they seem to be doing well.

I'm not sure that 60 million,

they're gonna feel it that much.

- So what will this meanfor low-income women?

- And that is the argument

that Planned Parenthood is making.

Their interim CEO said yesterday

that these women could have a delay

or not be able to get healthcare.

Again, 60 million doesn'tseem to be a big deal

when you look at PlannedParenthood's overall budget.

And they still have Medicaid funding,

and some states like Illinoisand Vermont are saying

we're going to make upthe loss that you receive

so this remains to be seen.

- All right, what do you think this means

when it comes to next year's election?

- Right, so the president has been saying

that he wanted to defundPlanned Parenthood

and so this gives him a great opportunity

to say to his base, to sayto Evangelicals primarily,

hey, look what I did for you.

We will see though whether abortion

really is what people vote on.

It could be more the economy,it could be some other issues,

but this definitely, it defines the debate

and gives the president a talking point.

- So when it comes tothis particular issue

pro-life advocates are calling this a win.

- Oh, definitely.- Indeed, all right.

Heather Sells thank you so much
