A new budget from Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs is coming under fire, with accusations that it removes funding for programs that benefit pregnant women struggling with homelessness, while allocating more money for abortion.<\/p>\n

Cathi Herrod, president of the Center for Arizona Policy (CAP), wrote about<\/a> one organization that will be negatively affected by Hobbs’ budget. “The homeless women who call Maggie\u2019s Place for help are usually about 22 weeks pregnant, alone and with no way to care for themselves or their unborn babies. Most have either been abused, trafficked or addicted to drugs,” she said. “More than 70 pregnant, homeless women call Maggie\u2019s Place each week, desperate for help. With just 26 beds available, the maternity home is forced to turn away many endangered women.”<\/p>\n

Yet under the proposed budget, Maggie’s Place would lose their funding. “No abortions, no funding,” Herrod said. “These are the most vulnerable of the growing homeless in Arizona, where we led the nation in the rise of homelessness in 2021, with an increase of 30%.”<\/p>\n

Lawmakers likewise are protesting the budget, as it would remove $200,000 from the Homeless Pregnant Women Services grant program, and give it to the Department of Health Services\u2019 operating budget. During the initial budget briefing, it was explained that this was meant for \u201cservices that are inclusive of all options and support personal choice.”<\/p>\n

David Livingston, chairman of the Arizona House Appropriations Committee, slammed the decision in an interview with the AZ Mirror<\/a>. \u201cWhat you\u2019re choosing, the way I interpret this… is saying we are going to take $200,000 dollars from homeless moms and instead we\u2019re going to apply it to abortion services,” he said. “Maybe that wasn\u2019t your intention, but that\u2019s how I\u2019m interpreting it.”<\/p>\n

Rep. Raquel Ter\u00e1n responded to Livingston by saying that organizations like Maggie’s Place could still receive funding, but the Department of Health Services will have to decide who now gets the grant \u2014 and with less funding, it will surely be a more difficult decision. And though Hobbs’ office, along with pro-abortion lawmakers, claim this isn’t an attempt to promote abortion, not everyone is convinced.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Current Arizona law forbids state taxpayer dollars to be used for abortions, but Title X provides federal funds for low-income family planning and women\u2019s health care. Under the Biden administration, that money can fund abortions,” Herrod pointed out. “Hobbs\u2019 budget proposal takes $500,000 from pregnant, homeless women and provides $6.1 million in Title X contributions, generating millions in federal funding for abortion clinics.”<\/p>\n

Arizona has been grappling with the state of abortion after the fall of Roe v. Wade<\/em>, with an 1864 law protecting preborn children from abortion ultimately struck down<\/a> this month. Abortion can now legally be committed through 15 weeks gestation, though it seems clear that some Arizona politicians want to see abortion much more widely committed throughout the state.<\/p>\n
