Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont Sends $3.8 Million to Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz

Connecticut is the latest Democrat state to send millions of its taxpayers’ hard-earned dollars to the Planned Parenthood abortion business.

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont is unhappy that Congress and President Donald Trump approved legislation this year to defund the abortion giant, which kills approximately 42,5000 babies in abortions each year. Responding to the defunding, Lamont has approved a huge pool of taxpayer funds for the abortion corporation.

As a result, Connecticut will give $3.8 million to Planned Parenthood to cover the lost federal reimbursement. The tax money goes to Planned Parenthood of Southern New England (PPSNE) facilities during the period July 4, 2025, through July 3, 2026.

State legislative leaders have 24 hours upon receipt of the plan to review and – if it is their will – disapprove of the expenditures before the funds can be legally transferred. But with the state legislature controlled by pro-abortion Democrats, they’re just as supportive of killing more babies in abortions as Lamont.

Fortunately, in most other states in America, the defunding is continuing as a federal appeals court recently issued a decision saying the defunding is fully Constitutional.

The One Big Beautiful Bill that Trump signed this summer withholds Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood and other major abortion sellers, delivering a major victory to pro-life advocates seeking to end taxpayer support for organizations that kill babies in abortions.

The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court’s preliminary injunction, ruling that the measure in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act does not constitute an unconstitutional punishment.

“It instead uses Congress’ taxing and spending power to put appellees to a difficult choice: give up federal Medicaid funds and continue to provide abortion services or continue receiving such funds by abandoning the provision of abortion services,” Judge Gustavo A. Gelpí wrote in the opinion.

The provision bars Medicaid reimbursements for one year to organizations that kill babies in abortions and received more than $800,000 in Medicaid funds in fiscal year 2023 — criteria that primarily target Planned Parenthood affiliates.

Previously, a liberal federal judge blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from cutting off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood in 22 states and Washington, D.C. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee in Massachusetts, issued a preliminary injunction against the defunding provision.

Pro-life advocates had championed the law as a critical step to redirect taxpayer dollars away from abortion companies, ending federal taxpayer support to large entities like Planned Parenthood.

The ruling applied to a coalition of 22 states led by California, Connecticut and New York, plus the nation’s capital.

Talwani found that the states are “likely to prove that the law imposes an unconstitutional, retroactive condition on state participation in the Medicaid program,” which provides health coverage to low-income Americans. She described the provision as “impermissibly ambiguous,” noting that allowing it to take effect would “increase the percentage of patients unable to receive birth control and preventive screenings, thereby prompting an increase in states’ healthcare costs.”
