Over at The Corner, Kathryn Jean Lopez
points to a disgraceful $10-million hike in taxpayer funds for
family planning groups, such as Planned Parenthood, included in the
Omnibus spending bill:
$327 million is allocated for the Title X Family
Planning Program which provides funding to groups like Planned
Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the nation. This is a
$10 million increase over last year (FY10 level was $317 million)
and a $44 million increase over the last four years (FY07 level was
$283 million).
Oh, that’s right. Pumping more federal dollars into family
planning groups stimulates the economy, because everyone
knows children are a net drain on prosperity. Forget the old saw
that human beings are our best economic resource.
