The Trump administration posted a final rule Friday that would require family planning clinics to be housed in separate buildings from abortion clinics, a move that would cut off Planned Parenthood from some federal funding.
The rule applies to a $286 million-a-year grant, known as Title X, that pays for birth control, testing of sexually transmitted diseases, and cancer screenings for 4 million low-income people. It requires the "physical and financial" separation of family planning services and abortion.
Federal funds are not permitted to go toward abortions except in the cases of rape, incest, or if a woman's pregnancy threatens her life. Abortion foes, however, have long fought for rules along the lines of the one advanced Friday because they say allocating federal funds toward clinics such as Planned Parenthood frees up additional funds to provide abortions. The organization receives between $50 million and $60 million from Title X.

About damned time. Meanwhile.... states that provide "freebie" abortions (like NY)...should be penalized... since in combination with their higher and higher taxes... they are responsible for higher costs in other states as NYers migrate to cheaper COLA states.... to get away from the idiocy that they voted for.

This was a real good move, Planned Parenthood is really a puppet master of the Democrat party, the Democrats just go mad when this stuff happens. It was on the hourly news and they said some states would sue. Big news, I hope other folks in the forum notice it because this forum, at times, doesn't seem to get as much attention. This could have gone in National news.
They fight tooth and nail, you saw that at the Kavanaugh trial and they get 350-500+ million dollars a year.
Also, on the hourly radio report, they said it wasn't true that PP doesn't conmingle this with abortion money.
Ping @Once-Ler and others.

Arbitrary and capricious because it doesn’t make a lick of sense to mandate separate buildings.
