The Missouri Senate passed a budget bill Wednesday that would defund the Planned Parenthood abortion chain of taxpayer dollars.

The Kansas City Star reports the bill passed 25-7 with bipartisan support after several Democrat lawmakers’ attempts to remove the defunding item failed. The bill now heads to the state House.

Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion group in the U.S. It reports billion-dollar revenues while aborting more than 350,000 unborn babies a year, and it runs the only abortion facility in Missouri.

The spending bill defunds Planned Parenthood and other abortion groups, their affiliates and associates of state tax dollars by appropriating zero dollars to them through the state Medicaid program, according to the Missouri Independent.
