“We believe that the Trump administration is doing this as an attack on reproductive health care and to keep providers like Planned Parenthood from serving our patients.” 

Abortion providers in 49 states will lose federal money if they refer patients for the medical procedure.

If approved, the state will refuse nearly $4 million in funding to create its own family planning program.

Leana Wen, president of Planned Parenthood, called the regulation “unethical, illegal and harmful to public health.”

The Trump administration will now withhold family planning funding if a clinic provides abortion referrals to patients.

The government wants women whose employers object to paying for contraception on religious grounds to rely on a program aimed at keeping lower-incoming earning women healthy.

As deputy secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, Diane Foley will oversee the Title X program, which funds reproductive care for lower-incoming earning people.
