There’s a lot of money in murdering the pre-born.
Planned Parenthood isn’t going to take this lying down.
WASHINGTON – The Trump administration says it will prohibit taxpayer-funded family planning clinics from referring women for abortions, a move certain to be challenged in court by abortion rights supporters.
The policy released Friday by the Health and Human Services Department pleased religious conservatives, a key building block of President Donald Trump’s political base.
The administration plan would also prohibit family planning clinics from being housed in the same location as abortion providers.
Planned Parenthood has said the administration appears to be targeting them.
The final regulation was published Friday on an HHS website. It’s not official until it appears in the Federal Register and the department said there could be “minor editorial changes.”
Known as Title X, the family-planning program serves about 4 million women annually, costing taxpayers about $260 million.
Trump sets up abortion obstacles, barring clinic referrals
The Trump administration is setting up new obstacles for women seeking abortions, barring taxpayer-funded family planning clinics from making abortion referrals. The new policy is certain to be challenged in court. The move was decried by women’s groups and praised by religious conservatives, but it could be some time before women served by the federal family program feel the full impact.
