This administration has never seen an abortion it didn’t want to fund.
(LifeNews) — In the wake of a decision by the New Hampshire Executive Council to revoke a $1.8 million grant to the Planned Parenthood abortion business for family planning, the Obama administration may reinstate the funding.
Last month, the health department in New Hampshire said it would not reinstate $1.8 million in taxpayer funding revoked earlier this summer by the Executive Council, which voted on June 22 to revoke the contract starting July 1. Since then, according to a Keene Sentinel report, the pro-abortion organization has been cutting back, Planned Parenthood of Northern New England spokeswoman Jennifer L. Frizzell says.
The abortion business has been engaging in a statewide lobbying campaign to get the Executive Council to reconsider the vote but the Concord Monitor newspaper indicated the state health commissioner says he has no plans to reinstate the tax financing.
Today, N.H. Health and Human Services Commissioner Nick Toumpas informed the council that the Obama administration is taking over the awarding of federal family planning grants and taking control of the recipient decision-making process New Hampshire had.
“We believe, but have no formal communication that these activities will take no more than a week,” Toumpas said, according to the Nashua Telegraph newspaper. He added that he expected Planned Parenthood to be awarded the grant.
