Taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers under Title X -- which provides $260 million annually to contraception and other family planning initiatives -- will be cut under a proposed rule the Trump administration announced yesterday, the Christian Post website reports today (May 19, 2018).
The proposal by the Trump administration seeks to disentangle taxpayers from the abortion industry by requiring a clear physical and financial separation between Title X services and services that perform, support, or refer to abortion as a method of family planning.
The changes are being instituted to reflect the view that taxpayer funds should not be used to provide abortion services and that abortion is not family planning.
Pro-Life organization Susan B. Anthony List -- which seeks to end abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives -- praised Trump for the move.
