Planned Parenthood Chooses Abortion Over Federal Funding

Planned Parenthood announced Monday that they will no longer receive Title X funds. 


The Trump administration recently put new guidelines in place for organizations that receive Title X, a federal grant program that provides preventive health and family planning services. The first change took effect Monday, August 19. Participating providers were required to submit a plan explaining how their organizations intend to comply with the new rule that they are unable to refer abortion services to women. By September 18, they will need to certify that they are indeed following through with their plan, and it is then being implemented.

Refuses to comply with what they consider a "gag rule." 

The organization believes that it is important to give their patients all of their options. In their eyes, this includes where and how to receive an abortion.


Pro-Life Victory

Many people have stated their desire to defund Planned Parenthood.

In 2016, President Trump stated "I would defund it because of the abortion factor, which they say is 3 percent. I don't know what percent it is. They say that it's 3 percent. But I would defund it, because I'm pro-life."

"The Title X program was not intended to be a slush fund for abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood," Majorie Dannenfelser, the president of the Susan B. Anthony List, a national anti-abortion group, said.

"If Planned Parenthood wants to be involved in providing counseling services and HIV testing, they ought not be in the business of providing abortions," stated Mike Pence.

What Happens Next...

"While Planned Parenthood health centers make up just 13 percent of Title X centers, they serve 41% of the 4 million patients who get care through the program," Planned Parenthood's website explains. 

Now that the organization decided to remove themselves from the program, will more pro-life providers step in the fill the gap in coverage? Which providers will benefit from the millions of dollars that are now available through the federal grant program?

Who's Deadlier? Planned Parenthood or COVID-19

  It's Closer than You Think Contrary to what you might expect, the results are actually much closer than what you would like to believe.  According to the CDC , in 2020 there were 376,098 COVID-19 related deaths in the United States. Planned Parenthood disclosed 345,672 abortion services on to their  latest annual report . That doesn't even include the additional 593,586 emergency contraception kits.  Govenment Funded Deaths Planned Parenthood revealed that government funding was their number one source of revenue on their   2018-2019 annual report . In fact, they received 616.8 million dollars from government health services reimbursements and grants.  Exploiting Women Planned Parenthood takes advantage of women. One would think that an organization with such a name would help women plan their parenthood, but this could not be further from the truth.  Numbers simply don't lie. During the course of an entire year, the organization  reported  only 9,798 prenatal services an

Shocking Developmemt of Artificial Womb to Grow Lamb Fetus

Are Artifical Wombs the Future? Premature babies are born evey day. It's common for them develop several different health complications including death. One of the primary reasons for these problems is that their lungs are undeveloped, and they will not continue to grow once they have been exposed to the outside air. What if we could find a way to continue the development of a fetus to help ensure a healthier human being? Is it even possible? The Lamb Experiment An experiment was conducted at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Eight lamb fetuses were born prematurely and inserted into artifical wombs. Oxygen was administered through a tube like an umbilical cord.  What happened next would shock the world! The lambs started to flourish. They progressed to gain weight, open their eyes, and grow wool coats. Even their organs developed properly. Great Goals The ultimate goal is to help premature babies. Approximately 30,000 infants are born prematu

Why Abortion Clinics Have to Become More Pro-Life Next Week

Unexpected Protect Life Rule The Trump Administration moved forward to enforce a new pro-life policy known as the Protect Life Rule last summer. It's purpose was to allocate federal Title X funding for organizations that help protect the unborn, but not everyone was thrilled. Abortion Groups "Gagged" Pro-abortion groups lobbied against the policy calling it a "gag rule." They went on to appeal the decision. Victory in Court   Three judges from the Ninth Circuit Court made a unanimous decision  to lift the temporary injunction last June, but the court decided to retry the case with all eleven judges.  On Monday, February 24, Courhouse news stated:  " In a 7-4 split, the Ninth Circuit  reject  arguments that the rule forces doctors to violate medical ethics by withholding information from patients or that it violates other federal laws that require doctors inform patients of all medical treatment options."
