The hair raised up on my arms when I learned from Carolina Journal’s David Bass that the state of North Carolina has something called the State Abortion Fund. From Bass’ story on the House budget comes several highlights, including these.
Eliminate around $500,000 in funding for the abortion-provider Planned Parenthood for contraception and teenage pregnancy prevention programs.
Eliminate the State Abortion Fund, saving $50,000. The fund pays for abortions for low-income women in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother’s life is endangered.
