"Abortion is Not Healthcare": President Trump Reverses Obama Warning to States That Cut Funds to Planned Parenthood"We urge Congress to swiftly finish what this pro-life administration has started by passing the Conscience Protection Act and redirecting half a billion dollars in annual taxpayer funding away from Planned Parenthood. Abortion is not health care. No one should ever be forced to participate in the destruction of innocent unborn children, and Planned Parenthood does not need or deserve taxpayer dollars." -Marjorie Dannenfelser (Washington, DC)—[Lifesitenews.com] The Trump administration's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced [recently] that it is rescinding a warning issued by the Obama administration to state governments stating that they cannot deny Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood on the grounds that they are abortion providers.

Such a rule could be difficult for Planned Parenthood to implement. Currently, federal law prohibits Medicaid money from being used for most abortions, although there are exceptions for rape, incest, and threats to the mother's health.
