The Trump administration is reviving a rule that would deny federal family planning funds to organizations that provide abortions or make abortion referrals.
The rule is similar to one in place during the Reagan administration. The proposal was drafted by the Health and Human Services Department and is under review by the White House budget office.

Thank goodness. From a moral standpoint, I found it immoral that millions of Christians and morally ethical people were being forced to subsidize abortions.
Planned Parenthood performs over 300k abortions a year. Who are they kidding when they claim abortions makes up a small portion of their business services? The funds PP receives from Title X funds are co-mingled with all other funds. They only have one account.
The idea behind this is not to attack women's right but to separate abortion from all the other wonderful services this organization provides. Abortion has nothing to do with family planning. It is family ending. Let's not confuse the two as being mutually beneficial.
