Trump admin to ban abortion referrals by taxpayer-funded family planning clinics

FOX: The Trump administration announced Friday that it intends to bar taxpayer-funded family planning centers from promoting or perfoming abortions or referring women to other clinics for them — a move that is likely to yank money from groups like Planned Parenthood.

The Department of Health and Human Services announced that the Title X program, a family-planning grant that helps approximately four million women a year, would be subject to a revision of regulations — including one that “prohibits the use of Title X funds to perform, promote, refer for, or support abortion as a method of family planning.”

Title X costs approximately $260-million-a-year and is intended to pay for birth control, STD-testing, infertility testing and other screening services. The release by HHS notes that from the beginning of the fund in 1970, Congress “was clear that Title X funds cannot be used to support abortion.”

“Consistent with the statutory requirement that no funds may be expended where abortion is a method of family planning, this regulation no longer requires, and affirmatively prohibits, referral for abortion as a method of family planning,” it says.

The new regulation “permits, but no longer requires, nondirective pregnancy counseling, including nondirective counseling on abortion.”  more here

  1. Larry! You’re back on Friday instead of Saturday.
    You’ve gotten all puckered up about the plumbing of a different sex. That’s cultural dictation, and gender appropriation and presents a kind of intrusion that may not be welcomed. Pass the computer to one of the girls in the room so we can get an honest perspective.

  2. Hi Lawrence, (you don’t mind that right)

    You seem to like the attention so I have a question(s).

    Are you a father? (you are not a Mother) Correct? Alias maybe?

    Do you have a brother? A sister?

    Do yo maybe have even a niece or nephew??

    An Auntie?

    Do you have a grandmother? A Grandpa?

    So, here is the ultimate question:

    Which of the above should have been aborted, killed.

    Which one?

    I do not have a uterus (YOU-tell-Us), so what would I know? Correct??

    Let us discuss.

  3. Larry, you don’t have to have a uterus to be a woman! Hey, you guys (liberal whackjobs) made that rule! Or we can now have male biological uteruses also. Your (liberal whackjobs) rules also. You’ve successfully killed your own arguments. Idiots!😀
