Planned Parenthood said it will pull out of a federal family planning grant program rather than stop referring patients for abortions
Planned Parenthood made good Monday on months of threats to pull out of the federal family planning program rather than comply with a new Trump administration rule barring federally funded clinics from referring patients to abortion providers.
The decision marks a partial victory for Republican lawmakers who have been trying to defund the organization. But while Planned Parenthood gets about $60 million a year under Title X, it receives far more from Medicaid. It also gets funding from other federal and state programs to combat HIV and provide sexual education to teenagers.
