From Breitbart: California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced Thursday that the cash-strapped state will be spending — “investing” — $140 million on Planned Parenthood abortion clinics to compensate for lost federal spending.
Under the Hyde Amendment, federal dollars cannot be used to fund abortions. However, Planned Parenthood had received federal funding for other purposes — money critics said was “fungible.”
President Donald Trump cut off all federal funding to Planned Parenthood under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed earlier this year. Planned Parenthood has failed, thus far, to reinstate funding through the courts.
So California, under Newsom’s vociferously pro-abortion administration, is stepping in to pay the bills.
Newsom announced Thursday, “California is fighting back against the GOP’s attempt to defund Planned Parenthood health clinics by providing $140M+ to life-saving centers. I refuse to let @realDonaldTrump & right-wing extremists in Congress destroy Californians’ reproductive freedoms & health care access.”

Newsom is being mocked for calling Planned Parenthood clinics “life-saving centers”.
Life Saving Centers?

Always #Orwellian speak. Lifesaving means infanticide.
