State Funding for Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers
March 31, 2023 | West Virginia
The governor of West Virginia has signed into law a measure that will provide state funding to pro-life pregnancy centers as the state’s former abortion facility is taking steps to set up an abortion clinic in a neighboring state.
West Virginia’s Republican Gov. Jim Justice signed House Bill 2002 into law Wednesday. In addition to providing a $5,000 tax credit for adoptions that can be used over a period of three years, the bill establishes the West Virginia Mothers and Babies Pregnancy Support Program. It tasks a management agency that contracts with the state’s Bureau of Public Health with managing the program, which provides “pregnancy help organizations” with state funding.
