Governor makes opposition clear
A bill banning public funding of Planned Parenthood and other groups that provide elective abortions passed out of the New Hampshire House yesterday with a 60-vote majority, as Republicans rejected a report by the committee assigned to study the issue but fell short of the support needed to override a potential veto by the governor.
Planned Parenthood of Northern New England says abortions make up only 3 percent of the services it provides and none of the public money it receives goes toward the procedure. The organization serves about 16,000 patients annually at six locations in New Hampshire, the majority of whom are low-income, uninsured residents who don't qualify for Medicaid.

The other 97% of their services go to "educating" young girls about the life-threatening dangers of contraceptive methods, and the absolute safety of abortions, and then refering those same girls to abortion mills. (At least, that's what they did in the 70s, when I belonged to their target demographic.)
Furthermore, considering that they disproportionately target the poor for their "services", who really believes that PP doesn't use public money to fund their associated abortion mills?
Planned Murder is not going to get funding ...boohoo...Thank you New Hampshire.
