The National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) spent years working with a New York City health organization that escorted young women to abortion clinics, which is a violation of federal funding rules.
That program included six members of the federal community service program AmeriCorps, as The Hill first reported late Monday.
Those involved in the assistance program, which took place at three clinics, violated a strict decades-old rule that prohibits federal funding from supporting abortion services.
The misuse of the funding sparked an outcry from Republicans in Congress.
Even before the full release of the findings, Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.), the head of a health appropriations panel, asked the Obama administration to investigate how community health centers nationwide are using their grants.

They didn't help them get abortions, the women had already made the decision. All they did was accompany them to the clinics for their personal medical procedure.
