Planned Parenthood Ditches Title X Funds in Favor of Abortion

Posted on In The News by C.J. Williams · August 20, 2019 10:21 AM

According to their own estimates, Planned Parenthood performs over 330,000 abortion procedures per year. Apparently, that act of violence is their non-negotiable, because they've just voluntarily withdrawn from the program granting them funds through Title X. The organization receives approximately $60 million a year through Title X (which is less than 15% of the overall public funds given to the abortion giant); but in refusing Title X, Planned Parenthood is brazenly stating that abortion matters more than women's healthcare.

Most of other government funding comes through Medicaid, which does cover human abortions. 

Despite what leadership in Planned Parenthood has stated, no part of the current federal administration is forcing PP to forgo Title X funds. The rule does not target any particular organization; the rule is a blanket policy that guarantees Title X monies (federal funds) follow rules instated already by the HHS which bar abortion funding. The recent decision follows the ruling that now separates abortion from actual healthcare, and prohibits any organization providing healthcare from receiving federal funding if they also provide abortion. As of the writing of this article, courts support the decision, despite lawsuits from PP.

Unbiased observers have made a good point quietly between the shouts on both sides of this news story: Does PP have a deeper commitment to making a profit off killing the preborn, or to women's health? Is it "Care. No Matter What." or "Abort. No Matter What."?

Two sides of the debate over abortion and federal funds

JULY 30, 2018

Governor Charlie Baker is clearly misguided in opposing President Trump’s proposed changes in Title X funding to enforce the federal ban on tax dollars for abortion (“Baker hits US abortion proposal,” Metro, July 24). The changes would not endanger women’s health care, as Baker and Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito implied in their letter of comment to the US Department of Health and Human Services and the White House budget director. Rather, the changes would reduce taxpayer subsidies to Planned Parenthood, a major special interest group that performs more than 300,000 abortions nationwide each year.

It’s no wonder the Baker-Polito challenge to Trump’s proposal was cheered by the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts and by politicians favoring abortion rights.

Taxpayers should not be forced to subsidize a procedure that results in ending a human life.
