Becerra Visits New Hampshire Planned Parenthood After Awarding $500k Grant

Last week, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra visited Planned Parenthood of Northern New England (PPNNE) after awarding them $500,000 in taxpayer dollars.

The $500,000 Title X Dire Need grant was awarded by the Biden administration after the New Hampshire Executive Council voted to strip abortion businesses of public funding.

Becerra said in an press release that the grant is only a part of Biden's strategy to enable abortion businesses. “The Biden-Harris Administration understands that our nation’s family planning clinics, such as Planned Parenthood, play a critical role in achieving the objectives the President laid out on Tuesday.”

Becerra was referencing a separate statement released by President Biden to mark International Women's Day.

The HHS press release noted that the $500,000 received by PPNNE is only a portion of the $298 million fund the Biden administration has set aside for the Title X program.
