Fed. Gov't Will Pay for Family Planning in NH After State Council Cuts Funding

Reuters: Feds to fund N.H. family planning after state council refuses, by Jason McLure:

The federal government has committed to taking over family planning services for poor women in much of New Hampshire, in a move that may allow Planned Parenthood to resume providing a full range of care including birth control, a state official said.

Planned Parenthood clinics had previously provided family planning services to more than half the state before a Republican state council voted to end a $1.8 million contract because the women's health group also offers abortions. . . .
