The GOP in Ohio had launched another attack in their “war against women.”
On Tuesday, April 17, GOP member of Ohio House Finance and Appropriation
Committee amended one of Gov. John Kasich’s mid-budget review bills to place Planned
Parenthood and other independent health clinics at the bottom for federal money.
If unaware, Planned Parenthood provides services from abortion
to actual family planning, to simple sex advice. A utopia for questions and
answers, that holds a large female clientele.
Last year, the 32 Planned Parenthood clinics in Ohio received
$1.7 million of the $9.7 million given to Ohio for federal family planning.
The bill lays out that flow of money from federal family
planning will start with public health departments, to federally approved
community health clinics, and then private community health clinics (Planned
Parenthood). Although it is unknown how much these clinics at the bottom of the
barrel would receive, if any.
Michael Gonidakis, president of Ohio Right to Life, made it
clear that this was a move against abortion. Gonidakis said, "Ohio's
abortion industry will no longer feed at the taxpayer trough," he said.
"Instead, these dedicated health-care funds will be offered to those
entities where a vast majority of low-income women and their children seek
responsible and life-saving services."
