U.S. appeals court lets Trump abortion referral ‘gag rule’ go into effect
(Worthy News) – A federal appeals court on Thursday cleared the way for the Trump administration to enforce a controversial rule barring clinics that receive federal funds for family planning services from referring patients to abortion providers.
