Donald Trump cuts funding for Planned Parenthood

February 22, 2019

  Conservatives have been calling for cutting all Federal funding from Planned Parenthood and today a new rule issued by the Trump administration takes a step in that direction. Here is more:

The Trump administration issued a final rule on Friday that could effectively cut off tens of millions of federal family planning dollars to Planned Parenthood and steer some of that funding towards anti-abortion, faith-based care providers.

While the revamp of the Title X program does not accomplish the full defunding of Planned Parenthood that Republicans have called for, it is a major step in that direction, and marks another major policy win for social conservatives looking to prohibit access to abortion.

Under the rule, clinics would still have to provide an array of contraceptive services but could partner or subcontract with groups that stress abstinence only or natural family planning. It would also bar Planned Parenthood and other health care providers that accept the funding from making any abortion referrals or performing abortions — regardless of the funding source — at the same facilities where they provide Title X services like birth control, mammograms and cancer screenings.

   While this new rule change would cut millions of dollars in Federal funding to Planned Parenthood it is still just a small portion of the money the government gives to the organization.

The bulk of Planned Parenthood’s government funding, however, comes from state Medicaid programs, which are unaffected by this rule.

 Of course you know where this is going, several states are already planning to sue and history has shown us there will be a judge who will issue a stay while this makes it though the courts. And the left is sure to ramp up the “war on women” rhetoric again…

    Of course the Dem’s are upset, they get that money as campaign funds – its big biz! murdering babies, using their blood (used as sacrifices to moloch/baal), body parts – selling them on open market “Former Planned Parenthood Employee: Harvesting Fetal Body Parts Is ‘Big Business’
    “Whatever they’re doing to babies/fetal tissue might be more sinister than ever imagined!”
    Have you heard of HEK 293 – Senonyx, some might be in the products you consume.
    Don’t bother w/ Fast Checks, Snopes etc – all working for the cabal – what every they’re saying is true or false, just flip it.

      Yep, they take the Federal money and filter it right back into Democrat campaigns. It is nothing but a giant slush fund and hopefully this is just the beginning. I haven’t heard of HEK 293 and I am afraid to look into it!

        Depravity unrestrained … ugly. The ‘tare (terror) seeds’ of the enemy.
        It’s the world according to ‘fulfilling the insatiable lusts’. more, more … is never enough … give more!
        Some say that’s why certain ones in high positions continue to ‘live’ as long as they do – using the life blood of innocence. Evil has no conscience or boarder walls.
        If only these leaders wanted Truth instead of living the ‘lie’.

    This is getting more and more bizarre…. The Dems are now going to have to deal with this issue the next election. Finally.
