Well, the Federal Ambassador to NH, Jeanne Shaheen, made a promise to override the lawful decision of the NH Executive Council over its refusal to fund Planned Parenthood.
And she enlisted her fellow coven members (Chris Pappas, Annie Kuster, and Maggie Hassan) to get the Feds to overrule what should have been a local decision. Period
Thus, demonstrating a long-term dogma by Democrats that ALL Power should be pushed as high and as centralized as possible. NEVER should there be any local control if the Federal Govt, from thousands of miles away, can “spank” those locals at a Democrat’s whim if they sit in Congress: (reformatted, emphasis mine):
The Biden administration is stepping in to offer federal grants directly to sex-education programs in Manchester and the Claremont area after the state’s Republican-led Executive Council rejected them. New Hampshire’s congressional delegation had pursued the direct grants after the council turned down repeated attempts to approve accepting the funds on behalf of the state. In 2021, the all-Democratic delegation went the same route when it convinced the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to contract directly with Planned Parenthood of Northern England and other family planning providers that operated abortion clinics.
Now doing it twice shows a pattern of disdain for what NH wants to do for itself. The idea of Federalism, that the Federal Government is tasked to do what it is supposed to do by Constitutional requirements and LEAVE THE STATES TO THEIR OWN ISSUES, is just part of the Democrat’s targeting of Constitutional norms.
And Shaheen has the temerity to call what the NH Executive Council decided a ‘crisis”??
Access to these resources never should have required a federal agency stepping up to resolve a crisis created by GOP executive councilors, but I’m relieved the Department of Health and Human Services heeded my call for assistance. These dollars are urgently needed to help allow providers in New Hampshire to continue offering evidence-based education in their communities, which experience higher-than-average teen pregnancy rates.
Talk about harboring a grievance against Republicans in a local State matter! No, this was not a crisis – merely a political difference. And Hassen is right with her on this:
“I am proud to stand with our trusted medical providers in supporting evidence-based programs that prioritize the needs of our youth,”
Proud to be yet another Democrat in working to make States irrelevant – that only DC matters. All four of them have decided that the States (back then, the Colonies) created the Federal Government and not the other way around. However, the Democrats are out to prove that the line of “Americans happen to have a Govt instead of a Govt having subjects” can be applied in other ways as well.
And why is that? The State of New Hampshire is performing heresy with regard to Progressive dogma:
For the past decade, the state embraced the so-called Personal Responsibility Education Program, which addresses many issues, including abstinence from sex, sexually transmitted diseases, gender identity, relationships and decision-making skills.
