One of Planned Parenthood’s government revenue streams has officially ended for now.
The Planned Parenthood Federation of America confirmed Aug. 19 it would not abide by the Trump administration’s new rule prohibiting federal family planning funds for organizations that perform, promote or refer for abortions. The decision — which was announced at the deadline set by the administration — means Planned Parenthood will forfeit $50 to $60 million a year in order to conduct business as usual as the country’s No. 1 abortion provider.
The loss of funding through Title X, the federal government’s family planning program, will result in about a 10% decrease in government money for Planned Parenthood — at least while a court challenge is underway. (BP)
