California Backs Abortion Provider with Taxpayer Money
California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced that the state will give $140 million to Planned Parenthood. This money is intended to keep 109 of their clinics open.
Newsom stated this action shows California’s dedication to abortion access. He criticized efforts to reduce funding for Planned Parenthood.
Some people disagree with using taxpayer money for this purpose. They believe the money could be used for other important things. Concerns have also been raised about the type of services Planned Parenthood provides, with a focus on abortion procedures.
Planned Parenthood has said that federal funding cuts are making it hard for them to provide healthcare.
California is one of a few states that have decided to give money to Planned Parenthood. Other states are thinking about doing the same.
