Federal funding for people in poverty heading to Missouri anti-abortion centers
Federal Funding for People in Poverty Is Going to Anti-Abortion Centers Instead
At least eight states gave Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds to crisis pregnancy centers in recent years.Federal Funding for People in Poverty Is Going to Anti-Abortion Centers Instead
Most of the money Missouri gives to its crisis pregnancy centers comes from federal funds meant to assist families experiencing poverty with basic necessities and child care, Republican Rep. Jason Smith said on the U.S. House floor in January.
As many as $3 of every $4 for pregnancy centers in Missouri was from the federal #TANF ("Temporary Assistance for Needy Families") program in 2024,
and in the 2026 fiscal year, it will be $2 out of $3.
The amount of #TANF funding has steadily increased since 2022, from $4.3 million then to $10.3 million in fiscal year 2026.
⚠️ At least eight states have given TANF funds to crisis pregnancy centers in recent years
-- even before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned federal protections for abortion rights in 2022.
According to data from the consulting firm Health Management Associates,
more than $102 million from TANF went to the centers in those eight states between 2017 and 2023,
including $22.5 million in Ohio,
$11.75 million in Indiana
and $12 million in Texas.
