President Donald Trump Defunds Planned Parenthood, Will Cut Almost $60 Million in Taxpayer Funding

lifenews-

President Donald Trump today finalized an administrative rule that would partially defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business and deprive it of as much as $60 million in taxpayer dollars. This action adds to President Trump’s record of defunding the Planned Parenthood abortion company.

The abortion chain receives about $50 million to $60 million in Title X funds annually, but that could change now that the new rules are being implemented. The administration’s changes to Title X family planning grants have angered the abortion chain Planned Parenthood, prompting a lawsuit, but they provide hope for life-affirming pregnancy centers, which can now compete with the abortion giant for the federal funds.

Title X funds are supposed to be used to help low-income women and men receive birth control, cancer screenings and other health care services. While the tax money cannot be used to pay for abortions, it indirectly funds Planned Parenthood’s vast abortion business.

Last May, the Trump administration published a new proposal for Title X that would prohibit Planned Parenthood and other abortion businesses from receiving any of those tax dollars unless they completely separate their abortion businesses from their taxpayer-funded services. That mean housing their family planning services in separate buildings with separate staff from their abortion businesses and a denial of funds if they fail to do so. Most Planned Parenthood entities are not expected to comply.

  1. The socialist Democrats raised like $8MM a day after Bernie announced he was running. They should be able to fund PP in a little over a week, so they can keep killing black babies without interruption.

  2. If it’s such a great in-demand service, why do they need any government subsidy?

    Just like public television. Sell airtime like a normal business and show something the public wants to see. Stop suckling on the Federal tit.

    Wow! A Bezos grade fake truth. (Not sure whether the OP will claim to really, really believe its truthy, truthy facty allity — or just claim to be repeating what xis own lying eyes don’t see. Neither makes it less of a lie.)

    The core of monetary fungibility is absolute interchangeability. When you deposit a dollar in a bank, you can not — ever — demand the same bill be returned to you. That’s also why you can deposit a check (Hey, Jussie! How’s tricks?), spend some of it with a plastic card, get slips of paper from an ATM, and PayPal the rest to your Nigerian princes.

    Money given to Planned Parenthood is fully and completely interchangeable. The same (as same as can be legally defined) dollar can go to the electric bill, the property tax skim, or the vacuum company. Whether that dollar comes from The United States taxpayers (after The United States’ skim), the sale of baby parts, or donations from elite fake Americans.

    In a monetized economy, you can not (mathematically) segregate funds. Ever.

    Even in a thread about baby murder, that is just sick beyond the pale.
