Idaho defunds Planned Parenthood
Idaho has adopted a new law defunding abortion providers and banning them from receiving contracts to teach sex education in public schools, ensuring that no state and local dollars are allocated to promote or perform abortion.
House Bill 220, “No Public Funds For Abortion Act,” was signed into law Monday by Gov. Brad Little, a Republican. The measure defunds outfits such as Planned Parenthood but excepts publicly-funded hospitals and abortions funded with Medicaid.
The measure also bars school districts and public colleges from entering into contracts for abortion organizations to teach sex education and also stops public colleges and universities from providing abortifacient drugs to end a pregnancy after conception.
Such drugs and abortion counseling are presently offered at Boise State University, the University of Idaho and Idaho State University through their student health centers, according to the social conservative activist group Family Policy Alliance of Idaho.
