(CNSNews.com) - President Donald Trump’s budget proposal together with the American Health Care Act, which
Trump’s proposal embraces, would deny all federal funding to Planned Parenthood through both discretionary Title X grants and Medicaid.“The budget also follows through on a campaign promise and prohibits any funding in the Labor-HHS appropriations bill for certain entities that provide abortions, including Planned Parenthood,” says a fact sheet published by the Office of Management and Budget. “This prohibition applies to all funds in the bill, including Medicaid.”
According to a May 18, 2017 Congressional Research Service report, the Government Accountability Office determined that Planned Parenthood Federation of America affiliates received $400.56 million in Medicaid reimbursements in 2012. The same GAO analysis, according to CRS, said PPFA affiliates also received $64.35 million in Title X money that year.
In its annual report for 2012-2013, Planned Parenthood said that it did 327,166 abortions in fiscal 2012.
