Abortion is legal. The government should have no right to pick and choose which legal services it pays for. The government needs to make abortion illegal if that is the wish of the people, not find back-door ways to put the abortion providers out of business.PP is free to tell people where to get an abortion. They just won't be paid to do so by the government.It doesn't say they are going to stop paying for abortions. It says it won't reimburse any organization that helps women connect with abortion providers.The changes to Title X, which will prohibit federal funds to any organization that helps connect women with abortion providers,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.
That doesn't sound like a very kosher law, to me. But I hear he has already used it on organizations outside the US. Couldn't this almost be seen as a freedom of speech issue? As a provider, I'd be mad as hell if D.C. told me what I could counsel my patient.
Fuck that.
You mean like DumBama did with roll your own cigarette shops?
