When the bill becomes law, Indiana will become the third state to have such a provision, following Texas (which passed &#8220;Rider 8&#8221; in 2003) and Missouri (which passed a nearly identical law in 1999). Although the intent of the law is laudable, it would be inaccurate to say that the bills &#8220;defund Planned Parenthood,&#8221; as is commonly being reported in the media. As the Alliance Defense Fund has noted (pdf warning), the overall effect of the bill will essentially merely require some administrative paper shuffling on Planned Parenthood&#8217;s part.
