“Not required to provide bailout money to the abortion industry”
California Catholic Daily: “Local governments are not required to provide bailout money to the abortion industry,” said ADF senior legal counsel Steven H. Aden in a statement released by ADF. “Taxpayers should not be required to foot the bill for the activities of groups which perform or promote abortions. The Orange County policy is perfectly consistent with similar federal restrictions and does not violate any state or federal laws.” In a letter to the board of supervisors, ADF noted, “case law provides the Board with a clearly constitutional path to restrict the use of… funds to preclude any connection to the provision or promotion of abortion.”
