GOP candidates: We've already defunded Planned Parenthood

States are much more likely than Congress to succeed in defunding Planned Parenthood, and some of the GOP presidential candidates are reminding voters they've already done that.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry have signed budgets in their respective states cutting millions of family planning dollars from Planned Parenthood and other health clinics that provide abortions.
"In WI, we defunded Planned Parenthood. The disgusting videos that @HillaryClinton won't condemn show we made the right decision," Walker tweeted on Wednesday.

Five years ago, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie eliminated $7.5 million in state funds for family-planning centers, which cut funds across the board but especially hit Planned Parenthood clinics.
