"New Hampshire Planned Parenthood stops providing birth control"
Planned Parenthood has stopped providing birth control pills and other contraception in New Hampshire after the state's executive council rejected up to $1.8 million in funding for the group, which also provides privately-funded abortions. The move is expected to affect an average of 120 low-income women each day. Other services provided by Planned Parenthood, including pelvic exams, were also in peril. Under federal law, Planned Parenthood cannot use government funds to provide abortion, and Frizzell said it the group is subject to regular audits to ensure that only private money is used to pay for abortions. State and federal funds from the contract make up about 20 percent of the Planned Parenthood's annual budget in New Hampshire.
^ As long as their are Federal and State agencies that check and double check that their funds aren't being used for abortions then I don't see any problem with continuing funding the other services they offer. ^
