The Trump administration announced on Monday that its new regulation barring taxpayer-funded family planning clinics from referring women for abortion services will take effect immediately.
Planned Parenthood President Leana Wen said in a statement that their"doors are still open" at their clinics around the U.S. Wen added that the organization, along with other abortion rights groups, will challenge the new regulations in court. Health care services provided by the program include: wellness exams, cervical and breast cancer screenings, contraception, HIV testing and testing for sexually transmitted diseases.
All abortion services provided by the organization must be and have always been paid for separately. While abortion is legal under federal law, the use of taxpayer dollars to fund the procedure is illegal.
