Trump Expected To Pause Millions In Planned Parenthood Funding, Report Says

Source: Forbes

The Trump administration is reportedly expected to freeze about $20 million in funding for Planned Parenthood, among other organizations that receive family planning grants, as it reviews whether they’re in compliance with President Donald Trump’s directive for all federal contractors to root out all diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

About $120 million in grant funding for family planning to support pregnancy testing, access to birth control, infertility services and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, is expected to be put on hold as soon as this week, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed resources.

The funding freeze would impact about $20 million for Planned Parenthood clinics in about 12 states, according to the Journal, which reported the pause would be implemented so the Health and Human Services department can review whether the grant recipients are using the money for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

An unnamed HHS spokesperson told the Journal it was reviewing grant contracts to ensure recipients adhered to Trump’s executive orders.

Freedom of religion also means Freedom from
religion too. You don't want an abortion then don't get one


BTW in every state red or blue after Roe was overturned women's right for health care won
except in the fall of 2024. That election was way dirty.
