WASHINGTON (AP) — Raising the stakes in a standoff over women’s health, Planned Parenthood said Wednesday it will leave the federal family planning program within days unless a court puts a hold on Trump administration rules that bar clinics from referring patients for abortions.
Spokeswoman Erica Sackin told The Associated Press that Planned Parenthood clinics “will be formally out of the Title X program” by Monday unless the full 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco halts the new rules. The appeals court is weighing a lawsuit by Planned Parenthood and others to overturn the rules; a panel of judges in effect had earlier allowed the administration to go ahead with enforcement.
Monday also is the deadline set by the federal Department of Health and Human Services for participants in the family planning program to submit plans on how they would comply with the rules, which are set to take effect Sept. 18.
It’s unclear what the immediate impact would be for patients next week because Planned Parenthood has also pledged to keep its doors open.
In a notice to the court Wednesday, Planned Parenthood said it “will be forced to withdraw” from program by close of business on Monday unless the full court intervenes.
It’s unclear what the immediate impact would be for patients next week because Planned Parenthood has also pledged to keep its doors open as it contests the administration’s policy change.

Although federal family planning money cannot be used to pay for abortions, clinics had been able to refer women seeking abortions to another provider. In many cases, that would also be a Planned Parenthood facility.

“Women’s health” ?
This is winning.
In other words, PP is black mailing the 9th circuit....
They don’t plan anything other than murder of the unborn.
There is an old saying that applies to PP.............Don’t let the door hit you on the way out..................BYE BYE
“...In other words, PP is black mailing the 9th circuit....”
Sounds like it. But not surprising....it’s what libs do.
“Raising the stakes in a standoff over women’s health,” False premise and abominable lie in the first sentence. “Planned parenthood” is not about “women’s health,” nor about parenthood, it is about murdering unborn humans.How can it be about “parenthood” if they discourage it by murdering the unborn, precluding parenthood? Don’t allow them to repeat this lie.
Where is George Soros’ next baby blood transfusion going to come from?
he isn’t banning clinics from referring murderers to an abortionist.
hes stopping the clinics from BEING FORCED to refer mothers to murderers
Language is everything. Read that statement over and over while simultaneously thinking about the baby's health as he/she is being gruesomely ripped to shreds.Most abortions are convenience procedures.
BTW, a woman's health at risk due to pregnancy is extremely rare. More will die due to abortions.
Unclear? Let's be clear. There will be no impact whatsoever on the patients. The babies however will get a chance to live.
Go ahead. Make my day.
PP, nose, knife, spite, face.
If this action brings about fewer abortions, go for it PP.
Genocide isn’t as popular as it once was was.
Good...
Planned non-Parenthood needs to go. Just close them up.
The organization is evil.
Open some clinics.
Perhaps the tax payers would no longer be forced to donating to the democrat party. No downside. Oh, and killing babies.
This sounds like a good thing.
But abortion is only 3 percent of its services. Didn’t I hear that somewhere?
