Over the past few weeks, a national news story has been unfolding about Planned Parenthood and how the organization handles fetal tissue after abortions. The controversy led a panel in New Hampshire to eliminate a state budget allocation to Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, which serves Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire.
We look at how this national story does -- and doesn't -- relate to the funding and services that PPNNE provides in our region. Our guests include Chris Sununu, a member of the New Hampshire Executive Council which voted to cut that state's funding for PPNNE last week; and Meagan Gallagher, the CEO of PPNNE.

Researcher Ross Colgate joins us to explain.
