On Monday, August 19, Planned Parenthood made a choice not to separate its abortion operation from Title X services, and in doing declined Title X funding, which makes up approximately four percent of their annual budget.
This came after the Trump Administration announced that the Protect Life Rule would take effect immediately, after being upheld by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Protect Life Rule prohibits Title X funding from going to organizations that refer for abortions or provide abortions.
This is an important step in holding our nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, accountable.
Abortion is not healthcare. The majority of Americans oppose taxpayer-funding of abortion. Disentangling taxpayer dollars from abortion funding is the right thing to do.
Please join us in thanking President Trump and HHS Secretary Alex Azar for taking this action. Please let your Representative and Senators know how important the Protect Life Rule is, as well.
