New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has signed into law<\/a> a bill that will give Planned Parenthood, and other abortion organizations, $9.5 million in taxpayer dollars<\/a>. This is on top of the $10.5 million in state funding the corporation\u00a0already<\/em> receives from the state. The bill was passed in direct response to the Trump administration’s revised Title X rules, which caused Planned Parenthood to reject approximately $60 million in taxpayer funding. NJ’s funding was meant to make up for the funding Planned Parenthood refused from the federal Title X program.<\/p>\n

According to NJ.com<\/a>, Title X provided $8.8 million in taxpayer funding to women’s health and family planning clinics in New Jersey. Many Planned Parenthood affiliates chose to opt out of funding<\/a>, including those in New Jersey, deciding to give up the taxpayer dollars rather than separate their abortion business from their Title X family planning services.<\/p>\n
