Planned Parenthood pulled out of a federally funded family-planning program on Monday over an abortion gag rule, leaving some 1.5 million clients scrambling for services.

“The Trump administration has forced Planned Parenthood grantees out of Title X,” Planned Parenthood Acting President Alexis McGill Johnson told reporters, adding, “We will not be bullied out of providing abortion information to our patients.

Planned Parenthood challenged the ruling and announced it would pull out of the program if it was not overturned. On Friday, the court declined to hear the appeal.
