“The federal funding of abortion providers like Planned Parenthood is a serious problem in our country, and one that I have been fighting since I arrived in Congress.  This grant announcement is a sad reminder that despite assurances from the President when the law was passed, Obamacare will in fact give tax payer money to abortion providers.  I am glad that the GAO recently agreed to my request to investigate the funding of Planned Parenthood and other abortion services providers.  I hope that the findings of this investigation will help mobilize the support necessary to finally put an end to the federal funding of these groups once and for all.”
