Well, no.As good as it is, this bill merely overturns a regulation that was promulgated during the Obama years -- and only within the past 2-3 years, if memory serves.And all Trump did was sign it -- the bill had to make it through the House and Senate first.I'm glad he signed it, but c'mon. At least be honest about what actually happened.
He pledged to help defund Planned Parenthood. This does that. One step at a time.
