THE TRUMP administration just won a victory over Planned Parenthood. Thousands of women will pay the price.
Planned Parenthood announced this month that it was leaving the federal government’s Title X program, which pays for family planning services for low-income Americans. As many as 1.6 million women and girls who currently rely on Planned Parenthood for things such as birth control pills and health screenings could be affected. The Trump administration argues there will be alternatives available to this vulnerable population. In some areas, that is not clear. Planned Parenthood is the only Title X provider in Utah. The organization serves about 90 percent of Minnesota’s Title X patients. Without Title X funding, clinics will have to charge co-pays, draw on financial reserves or shut down.
To some observers, Planned Parenthood’s decision to leave the program is yet more evidence that the organization values a pro-abortion agenda more than it does the essential health-care services it provides to so many women and girls. A new Trump administration rule bars Title X providers from referring women to get abortions unless there is a medical emergency. This is a sharp change from a 2000 rule that required Title X providers to tell patients where they could get abortions, if they were asked. The Department of Health and Human Services argues that its new rule better reflects the underlying law, which bars Title X funds from going to programs “where abortion is a method of family planning.”
In fact, overturning a two-decade-old rule was an unnecessary fight the Trump administration picked with Planned Parenthood. Title X funds were not paying for abortions before now. It is beyond tenuous to argue that telling patients where they can obtain an abortion, somewhere else, renders a provider a place “where abortion is a method of family planning.”

I love the title of this too..."Trump and Win" in the same sentence.
Let women pay for their own abortions! Not me! Sickening.
"Trump just won a battle with Planned Parenthood. Thousands of women will pay."
NO MENTION OF THE BABIES.
These arestrong and independent women who need no man. Or his money confiscated by government.
Where are all the other ‘sister’ women donating from their own money to help their fellow sisters abort their babies?
“Thousands of women will pay.”
Millions of Americans will no longer have to pay.
Thousands of babies will live...they did not add...
There is no one who is bucking, who cannot afford birth control
I was funking at 14. that was 40 years ago and I could afford birth control
As far as I know I have no children, however, I’m not on Facebook so, who knows?
You can’t afford $10 bucks for birth control but, the taxpayers should pay for it and your fun?
Kram it Klownie...
Dear WaPo: If a woman can afford to live in any kind of housing, if she has a cell phone, if she has cable TV, if she smokes cigarettes, if she drinks alcohol, if she drinks coffee, she can afford her own birth control pills.
One of the things lost in the entire discussion is that we all need to take responsibility for our actions and pay the consequences. Far to often Democrats don't want people to pay the consequences of their actions. They prefer to view people as the victims of circumstances who need to be saved.
Fixed that BS.
It is reversion to the dark ages when women cannot easily kill their children. We were making so much progress! Post-birth abortion was on the edge of becoming a reality and now it is all going backwards. Women will be in chains again, forced to bear and raise children.
Perhaps fewer innocent preborn human beings will pay the ultimate price.
What’s the problem with health care?
Don’t we have national health care for all to fall back on?
But I won’t be paying and that is the morally correct answer. If a woman gets to murder her baby with no legal consequence, I refuse to pay for it.

Goes to show their top priority is infanticide.
I wish, but I'm not so sure. I think it's more likely the women will give the "fathers" a choice between paying for the abortion or paying child support. What do you think their choice will be?
Full headline: Trump just won a battle with Planned Parenthood. Thousands of women will pay for the consequences of their sexual actions.
The abortion rate in this country is lower now than it was before 1973.
Many factors have contributed to this, not the least of which is more effective contraception.
Ya mean contraception can prevent abortion?
