It’s almost like the controversies of the last few months never even happened. Do you think Obama or anyone on his team watched a single one of the Planned Parenthood videos?
If they did, they obviously didn’t care what was in them because they just gave Planned Parenthood a million in grants.
Planned Parenthood gets $1M in ObamaCare grants
The Obama administration on Wednesday awarded more than $1 million in grants to Planned Parenthood to help promote ObamaCare, a move that is drawing GOP criticism at a time when the healthcare provider is under congressional investigation.
Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.) blasted the White House’s decision as “unconscionable” in light of allegations of illegal activity in the health provider’s fetal tissue program, which has prompted key Republicans to call for a total defunding of the organization.
“A growing body of evidence suggests that Planned Parenthood broke federal law and now the Obama administration is thumbing its nose at Congress and taxpayers by using this backdoor maneuver to boost funding for the scandal-ridden abortion giant,” Black wrote in a statement Wednesday.
She is the lead author of three bills to defund Planned Parenthood, one of which she says has been promised a vote by House GOP leadership.
The Obama administration on Wednesday announced nearly $70 million in federal grants to groups promoting the healthcare law. The grants will go to 100 groups in 34 states, including three Planned Parenthood affiliates.
The provider’s affiliates in Iowa, Missouri and Montana will receive about $1 million in total.
