New Trump Rule Defunds Planned Parenthood

An executive order issued by the Trump Administration has removed funding for Planned Parenthood. The Washington Examiner reports:

Planned Parenthood will be foregoing federal funding to the tune of $60 million annually from a family planning program that will carry new anti-abortion rules.

“Planned Parenthood is still open. We are continuing to fight this rule in court,” said Alexis McGill Johnson, acting president of Planned Parenthood. She said the organization would do everything it could to make sure that clinics could stay open.

The Trump administration is giving healthcare providers until midnight to comply with a new rule that says organizations that accept federal family planning grants cannot directly provide patients with an abortion referral. Critics of the rule call it a “gag rule” because they say the government is forcing them to keep information from patients.

The grants in question, which amount to $286 million a year, come from what is known as the Title X program. They are used to pay for birth control, testing of sexually transmitted diseases, and cancers screenings for 2 million low-income adults and are not permitted to go toward abortions. Still, abortion foes and the Trump administration has said that the money is fungible and shouldn’t be used to prop up abortion providers.

Planned Parenthood’s days of pillaging the coffers of America are over. Americans, especially women, deserve real healthcare, not pushers for slaughtering babies.

Abortion is little more than a ritualistic blood sacrifice to Satan. I do not approve of my taxes beings used for such an immoral procedure. It’s little wonder our youth, and many adults, have no respect for human life!

I don’t like babies being killed for no reason other than the parents were stupid enough to have sex without protection. I also don’t like the idea of my taxes going to the Democrat party, which PPH donates a lot of $$$$ to.

It’s about time look I do believe in abortion but that’s up these foolish women and their doc. But I also believe it is Not the Taxpayers place to pay for their abortions if they play they pay to many ways to keep from a pregnancy really No excuse for abortion but again up to the women but Not Tax Money, use your own or get the guy to pay for it, but that’s another problem women lay around worse than men ever did , most the time they don’t even know who the Dad is , so have your abortions but pay for it yourself. You did it not us Taxpayers

ABORTION IS MURDER; taxpayers should never be required to pay for the murder of the innocent babies. Roe v Wade was unconstitutional at it’s inception fifty years ago and still is. Congress makes the laws, not the SCOTUS!!!

I believe this to be a great decision. Being religious and seeing all the good that Christians do throughout the US and the world at the expense of members donations. The liberals would certainly cry foul if the Christian churches of the nation were to receive government funding for their church programs. There is no reason that Planned Parenthood should be government funded. There are a lot of good liberals who could donate to Planned Parenthood and keep it afloat. This is called equal opportunity!

we are paying for the sins of our people [globally as well]–if you kill the little ones or even abuse them…there will be a millstone hung around the necks even if they do not see it…spiritually…they may even claim “Lord, Lord, did we not do things in Your Name?” with this going on behind closed doors? Do not mock G-D, an all around Spiritual Being–you cannot fool
Last IF those who want abortions for their mistakes then they should be paying for the abortions–NOT THE TAXPAYERS!
