MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Anti-abortion groups in Wisconsin on Monday questioned whether Gov. Tony Evers legally awarded about $2.4 million in federal stimulus money to Planned Parenthood, a move they claimed violated a state law prohibiting the funding of abortions.
The groups, represented by the conservative Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, also said the grant programs appeared to be unlawfully created and unlawfully administered.
The letter sought more information from Evers, a Democrat, about how the legality of creating two grant programs without approval from the Republican-controlled Legislature and awarding the grants to Planned Parenthood.
Evers’ spokeswoman Britt Cudaback did not directly address the complaint in a response, where she accused Republicans and their allies of “continuing to play politics while failing to support our state’s economic recovery and trying to obstruct efforts to get resources to folks across our state.”
The letter from WILL was sent on behalf of Wisconsin Family Action, Wisconsin Right to Life and Pro-Life Wisconsin.
Wisconsin has received about $4.5 billion in federal coronavirus relief money from the federal government. All of that is under Evers’ power to distribute.
