AUGUSTA, MAINE, May 18, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) – The state of Maine has defunded family planning services, depriving an organization affiliated with Planned Parenthood of $400,000.
Governor Paul LePage, a Republican, signed a budget Wednesday morning designed to erase the state’s $83 million shortfall. One of the structural changes deprived Family Planning Association of Maine of $400,000 in taxpayer revenues.
Maine Right to Life Committee was enthusiastic about the change. In an alert posted on its website Wednesday, MRTLC stated, “In final votes last night, the Senate passed the budget 19-14 and the House approved it 75-61. Governor Paul LePage signed the budget this morning. As you know, the Governor’s 2013 budget defunds Family Planning Association of Maine and Planned Parenthood in the amount of $400,000.”

Mainers can plan their own damn families! Good lord!

Let them kill babies on their own dime.
Don’t worry. The feds will come in and tell them they have to fund PP. That’s what happened to us in Texas.
LePage is the real deal.
Who could foresee that the scourge would slowly be strangled by budget difficulties? Killing babies is apparently a luxury.
