Don't Miss the Trump Administration's New Pro-Life Timeline

The Trump Administration is moving forward to enforce a new pro-life policy.


Family planning clinics that refer abortion services to women will soon be unable to receive federal funds. 

A new schedule was set into place on Friday, August 9.

The guideline stipulates that clinics will have until August 19 to provide a plan that complies with the new policy. Next they will be required to certify that their organizations are complying with the new rule by September 18.

The organizations will also be required to separate their finances, exam rooms, and office space from facilities that provide abortion services by March 4, 2020.

Many family planning clinics are considering dropping out of the government's program.

Maine Family Planning, a major provider who has been enrolled in the title X program for almost 50 years, expressed their intent to withdraw from the program rather than comply with the new policies.
Even though they stand to loose over $2 million a year, the organization's president George Hill stated " It is objectionable that the federal government is so arrogant as to dictate what our medical professionals can and cannot say to our patients."

Planned Parenthood would be greatly affected as well. The organization receives $50-$60 million of Title X funds annually. They also perform a large number of abortions. According to their 2017-2018 annual report,  they performed 332,757 abortion services in the past year alone. This is an increase from the 321,384 abortion services that Planned Parenthood reported the year prior.

Will more pro-life organizations grow and expand as a result of these changes? Only time will tell.

Stop Abortions Up to Birth in Massachusetts

Massachusetts is trying to pass the ROE Act. What's it all about? The abbreviation is short for Remove Obstacles and Expand Abortion Access Act, and it's not all sunshine and unicorns. It's intended to make getting an abortion easier in the bay state. 

A woman in Massachusetts can currently get an abortion up to 24 weeks, but that may all change. The new bill states " the patient is beyond twenty-four weeks from the commencement of pregnancy and the abortion is necessary to protect the patient’s life or physical or mental health, or in cases of lethal fetal anomalies, or where the fetus is incompatible with sustained life outside the uterus. Medical judgment may be exercised in the light of all factors—physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the person’s age—relevant to the well-being of the patient."  Let's break it down...This bill would allow for late term abortions not only if a doctor believed that it was in the best interest of a person's ph…
