While Texas passed laws limiting abortion access, it also spent millions on Alternatives to Abortion, a program that includes funding for controversial crisis pregnancy centers. A CBS News-ProPublica investigation found little accountability for how that money is being spent.

@propublica Money goes to marketing and not the mothers, babies. Little/no access to birth control, reproductive education, choice.

@propublica Greg Abbot loves wasting taxpayer dollars. He also spent gobs of Republican campaign money primarying rural Republicans concerned his voucher grift was going to hurt their local schools.

@propublica Not shocking. Republicans have had a LONG history of zero accountability and fiscal responsibility: When it comes to taxpayer money.

@propublica Spending millions a program with little accountability for how that money is being spent. This is how government work. Also, Ms. @GayleKing dress is stunning, but her hair keeps falling in front of one of her eyes, which distracts from her beautiful outfit.

@propublica "controversial crisis pregnancy centers" They‘re controversial only if you have brain worms, like whether the earth is flat is controversial.

A CBS News investigation found a coordinated campaign, heavily funded by a Republican mega-donor, that could make it hard to pass amendments to protect abortion access in places like Ohio. Caitlin Huey-Burns' report shows how that effort was also used in other states.

Pauline Hanson is calling for a “complete audit” on Aboriginal and Indigenous funding. Taxpayers deserve to know how much money is being spent and on what specific programs.

According to a new ProPublica investigation, Texas has seen an increase in the rate of sepsis among women who lost their pregnancies in the second trimester since the state instituted one of the country’s strictest abortion bans and the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to an abortion. The investigation found that the rate of sepsis jumped by more than 50 percent in the two years since Texas’ near-total abortion ban went into effect. Stephanie Sy spoke with Lizzie Presser for more.

BREAKING: Texas lawmakers just passed a voucher bill that gives billions in taxpayer money to private schools while gutting public education funding. Governor Greg Abbott and billionaires like Jeff Yass spent big to make sure the bill passed. Now your state could be next.

Pierre Polievre asked if he would allow a free vote on abortion amongst his MPs, given that some candidates see it as an issue. He says he guarantees there will be no abortion laws or restrictions passed under his government and that the CPC policy is a woman's right to choose.

The huge increase in Ireland’s abortion rate (over 10,000 Irish abortions last year) is a tragedy for our country and an indictment of our political class. Leo Varadkar told us in 2018 that abortion would be ‘rare’ under the new law. The Government misled people. Please contact all your politicians to insist on policies to make abortion rare, by promoting and funding positive alternatives.

In the Seanad today, I welcomed the failure of the Social Democrats to remove the three-day waiting period for abortion. Thousands of women have taken advantage of this waiting period to rethink and as a result went ahead with their pregnancy. Surely this is a cause for celebration, not the opposite. It seems to be a strategy on the extreme Left of politics to keep pushing for wider access to abortion, if only to prevent any discussion of the tragedy taking place in our midst– a major increase in the number of abortions taking place each year, no government strategy to reduce abortion or promote positive alternatives, and cruel practices in late-term abortion situations. People with different views on whether or when abortion should be legal should surely acknowledge that each abortion is a tragedy and we should work to reduce the numbers taking place.

The government wrongly focuses on “how much more money needs to be spent” to solve a problem, instead of first asking how the existing money is already being spent. More often than not, the answer to that question is: very poorly.

It's not clear if children in Northern Ireland get a high-quality education and there's little evidence that hundreds of millions spent on special educational needs is being spent effectively. That is according to a just-published report from the Northern Ireland Audit Office.
