Iowa would not allow state funding of Planned Parenthood under a bill passed Wednesday in the Republican-controlled House, but the measure is expected to hit roadblocks in the Democratic-majority Senate.

Republicans in the House have proposed similar measures in previous sessions with little success in the split Legislature.

The 56-42 vote for the roughly $1.8 billion health and human services budget bill was the culmination of debate that began late Tuesday night and included attempts by House Democrats to remove a proposal that would cut Medicaid funding for family planning facilities that provide abortions.

Rep. Beth Wessel-Kroeschell, D-Ames, said the proposal to remove state dollars would make $3 million in federal funding unavailable. That provides the bulk of family planning services under Medicaid, a federal program administrated by the states that provides health care to about 560,000 poor and disabled Iowa residents. She questioned how the state would make up the services.
