North Carolina Planned Parenthood will expand using federal taxpayer dollars

According to Life News, the North Carolina legislature voted to cancel funding of Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the United States. The Obama administration responded by awarding them an even BIGGER grant directly from the federal government with federal taxpayer dollars.

Following a recent announcement that the Obama administration would replace the state taxpayer funding North Carolina cut for a Planned Parenthood abortion referral business, a Durham clinic says it will be able to expand.

As LifeNews reported, for the third time in July and the fifth time overall, the Obama administration has override the decision of a state to revoke taxpayer funding for the Planned Parenthood abortion business. The Obama administration usurped the will of the North Carolina legislature by awarding $426,000 in federal grants directly to Planned Parenthood affiliates in the state.

Here’s the latest news:

The Durham clinic of Planned Parenthood — recently at risk of closing its doors — will be able to serve an additional 500 patients thanks to a federal grant.

The clinic had been threatened with closure because the state legislature this year cut Planned Parenthood’s $125,000 budget allotment. Instead, the Newsom Street facility will grow its services because Planned Parenthood has received a Title X grant worth $426,000 — nearly three times as much as state lawmakers cut.

Last year, the clinic overall had 2,244 patient visits. Officials expect a total volume of 2,727 this year, mainly from subsidized patients.

Obama’s full pro-abortion record is available here – he is not a moderate on this issue. I hope this story shows social conservatives why they need to care about fiscal issues. If the government didn’t have money from “the rich” they couldn’t be paying off abortion providers. And I hope that this story shows fiscal conservatives why they need to care about social issues. If abortion were illegal, then the federal government wouldn’t be handing out hundreds of thousands of dollars to subsidize it. We are all in this together.
