HB 228-FN, prohibiting the department of health and human services from entering into a contract with Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. or any organization that provides abortion services and prohibiting the use of public funds or insurance for abortion services.  INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE.

Rep. James R MacKay for Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs:  The majority of the committee recognized the extensive health care services provided by Planned Parenthood for many years to a significant number of New Hampshire residents.  No state or federal funds are used to perform abortions based on the Hyde amendment.  Planned Parenthood utilizes accepted accounting practices to ensure that funds are not misused.  The majority of the committee supported the continuing role of Planned Parenthood health services in New Hampshire.  Vote 12-5.
