The Trump administration has redirected $34 million in federal family planning funds from Planned Parenthood to other providers that do not perform or refer for abortions.

Planned Parenthood chose not to comply with the administrationā€™s enforcement of a rule thatĀ statesĀ Title X federal funds cannot be used for abortion providers.

The rule does not cut back family planning funds, however. Instead, it redirects them to non-abortion providers ā€” federally qualified healthcare centers, whichĀ outnumberĀ Planned Parenthood clinics 20 to one.

Students for Life of America (SFLA) commended the Trump administration for redirecting the funds.

ā€œPlanned Parenthood would rather shut down a program designed to help women than put abortion in second place,ā€ said SFLA President Kristan Hawkins. ā€œThe Trump Administration put women first as they looked to replace the programs Planned Parenthood was providing with real, life-affirming healthcare in other locations.ā€

Referring to ousted Planned Parenthood President Dr. Leana Wenā€™sĀ statementĀ that ā€œone in five women in this country have been to Planned Parenthood for care,ā€ Hawkins said, ā€œWe know that four out of five womenĀ will never use the nationā€™s largest abortion vendor for services, and with these new funds in place, more women will learn about their life-affirming options.ā€

Planned Parenthood has been complaining about the Trump administrationā€™s enforcement of the rule, referring to it as a ā€œgagā€ rule. The group has alsoĀ warnedĀ of a ā€œpublic health crisisā€ following its decision to opt out of the Title X grants rather than comply with the rule.

ā€œThe Trump administration is frantically scrambling to try to fill the gaps in care created through its own unethical gag rule,ā€Ā saidĀ Jacqueline Ayers, Planned Parenthoodā€™s vice president of government relations and public policy, reported theĀ Hill.

However, Hawkins said the abortion business has been ā€œcrying crocodile tearsā€ with its prediction that ā€œwomen will suffer because they choose to drop out of Title X.ā€

ā€œBut the Trump Administration stepped up to ensure that services were available,ā€Ā she added.

Any individual who would have chosen a Title X abortion facility for regular health care and family planning services canĀ findĀ federally qualified healthcare centers atĀ getyourcare.org.
