Alaska U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski has staked out positions that could put her at odds with fellow Republicans and the Trump administration, saying she won't vote to defund Planned Parenthood or to repeal expanded Medicaid.
Murkowski told a joint session of the Alaska Legislature on Wednesday that she won't vote to deny Alaskans access to health care services provided by Planned Parenthood. But she said taxpayer dollars shouldn't be used to pay for abortions.
