Planned Parenthood to defy Trump abortion referral rule

"We are not going to comply with a regulation that would require health care providers to not give full information to their patients," Jacqueline Ayers, the group's top lobbyist, said in an interview Tuesday. "We believe as a health care provider it is wrong to withhold health care information from patients."

It's part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to remake government policy on reproductive health. Planned Parenthood acted after its Illinois affiliate said it would not comply with the rule and an independent provider, Maine Family Planning, announced it was withdrawing from the federal program. Planned Parenthood of Illinois said it would accept program funds again if the rule were lifted.

The federal family planning program serves about 4 million women annually through independent clinics. Taxpayers provide about $260 million a year in grants to clinics. But that money by law cannot be used pay for abortions. Another requirement of the Trump administration's rule, to take effect next year, would bar clinics and abortion providers from sharing physical space.

There is nothing safe about abortion. It KILLS every time.

Yes and yesterday PP secretly removed the head of PP the first physician to hold the position in 50 yrs. She would not go along with their radical direction they wanted to take the Organization. More to come.

Or—don't have abortions.
