Well, it seems that the Orange County, CA board of supervisors had second thoughts about doing the right thing.

Thread by me.

Orange County, California Supervisors Restore $300K Planned Parenthood Grant

Santa Ana, CA (LifeNews.com) -- The Orange County Board of Supervisors in southern California has restored the $300,000 grant it initially revoked from the Planned Parenthood abortion business in March. The board initially voted to suspend the grant for family planning services because Planned Parenthood does abortions.

After hearing from county attorneys, supervisors restored the grant on Tuesday, but they also approved a policy that would make future grants to the abortion business more difficult to obtain.

Supervisor John Moorlach, who first proposed cutting the Planned Parenthood grant, and Supervisor Bill Campbell voted against restoring the funding.

Supervisors voted to create a new policy that, among other provisions, makes it so the family planning services can't be provided in the same location as abortions. That would require Planned Parenthood to establish a new facility that solely provided the contraception the grant funds.

The new policy also restricts funds to direct health services, rather than health education -- such as the propaganda Planned Parenthood will provide area teenagers with the $300,000. . .

Obama: Terminal Patients May Be Denied Some Treatment Under Health Plan

“I don’t know how much that hip replacement cost,” Mr. Obama said in the interview with David Leonhardt of The Times. “I would have paid out of pocket for that hip replacement, just because she’s my grandmother. Whether, sort of in the aggregate, society making those decisions to give my grandmother, or everybody else’s aging grandparents or parents, a hip replacement when they’re terminally ill is a sustainable model is a very difficult question.”
