Supporters of Unplanned Parenthood Make Their Move

This week, the California Orange County Board of Supervisors moved to suspend it’s contract with Planned Parenthood, totaling $300,000 dollars, because the organization offers comprehensive reproductive health services, including abortion. The contract was for Planned Parenthood to provide education to thousands of teenagers on contraception, abstinence and STDs. The total suspension of county money was approved despite the fact that abortion comprises only 3% of the services that Planned Parenthood offers and that none of the public funding was used to support the abortion care it provides. The Orange County Board move is just the latest in a national effort by anti-contraception forces to malign Planned Parenthood. The goal of anti-contraception operatives is to block it from receiving public grants thereby eliminating access to contraception and education for hundreds of thousands of Americans. Just yesterday, anti-contraception forces suffered a setback when Congress rejected family planning foe Senator David Vitter’s amendment to the appropriations bill that would have defunded Planned Parenthood of all federal money.
