Why can’t this happen in New Mexico?
Gary Bauer Reports: Kudos To Gov. Rick Scott
Friday, Florida Governor Rick Scott signed legislation cutting off taxpayer dollars to abortion clinics. The new law has a direct impact on the nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood. Florida now becomes the 12th state in the nation to end taxpayer-funding to Planned Parenthood.
Predictably, the left is crying crocodile tears. Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards blasted the new bill as “cruel” and “designed to rip health care away from those most at risk.”
Richards added that “thousands of people across Florida may no longer be able to access essential reproductive health care, such as cancer screenings, birth control, and well-woman exams.”
That is an absurd claim. According to Planned Parenthood’s website, it operates 22 centers in Florida.
But as John Stemberger, president of the Florida Family Policy Council, noted, “there are 636 Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) sites and Rural Health Clinics in the state of Florida. . . These FQHCs provide far more care, not less, than the limited services that Planned Parenthood and similar abortion-centric facilities provide.”
