The changes to Title X, which will prohibit federal funds to any organization that helps connect women with abortion providers,I agree with Lysistrata. To cut down on abortions, we need to cut down on unplanned/unwanted pregnancies. Planned Parenthood does that better than any other organization. So taking money from PP is going to increase unwanted pregnancies and the abortions that take place because of them.:Please, tell us moreI have a feeling this is not going to have the effect he's hoping for.Another promise kept

On Friday, President Trump kept another one of his campaign promises by signing off on an administrative rule change that will effectively eliminate roughly $60 million in federal family-planning money for Planned Parenthood and instead direct it toward faith-based institutions that are opposed to abortion.
Dems Threaten To Sue As Trump Cuts Funding For Planned Parenthood

Not to go there again but I think it’s important to point something out….
The government doesn’t fund planned parent hood. Never has, never will.
What HHS does is make funding available through Title X for family planning services. It offers monies to those organizations that can provide those services. Planned Parenthood is a vendor who is awarded the grant. The county health clinic where you live is likely another. Theoretically Banner Health could qualify if it wanted to offer the services of it’s nurses, counselors, and navigators for much less than is standard and customary.
So is this wrong, Candy? It doesn't sound as if this is about the reimbursement scale.
The Hyde Amendment prevents federal money from going to pay for abortions.
