(Worthy News) – Planned Parenthood will be forgoing as much as $60 million annually from a federal family planning program that will carry new anti-abortion rules.
“Planned Parenthood is still open. We are continuing to fight this rule in court,” said Alexis McGill Johnson, acting president of the organization, said in a call with reporters Monday. She said the organization would do everything it could to make sure that clinics could stay open.
The Trump administration gave healthcare providers until midnight Monday to comply with a new rule that says organizations that accept federal family planning grants cannot directly provide patients with an abortion referral. Critics of the rule call it a “gag rule” because they say the government is forcing them to keep information from patients. [ Source: Washingotn Examiner (Read More…) ]
