Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont plans to help fund family planning services with the state budget he unveiled this week.
Planned Parenthood of Southern New England recently lost more than $2 million in federal funds. That’s after the Trump administration revoked Title X grants for providers that counsel patients on abortion.
Lamont plans to help bridge that funding gap with $1.5 million from the State Department of Public Health.
He will also help other facilities that lost federal funding for offering family planning services, such as Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center and Fair Haven Community Health Care.
