Planned Parenthood Rejects Trump’s Proposal to Stop Abortions

HeadlineMar 07, 2017

Planned Parenthood has rejected a proposal by President Trump under which the federal government would stop threatening to defund the women’s health organization, if Planned Parenthood stops providing abortions. In response, Dawn Laguens of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America said, “Let’s be clear: Federal funds already do not pay for abortions. Offering money to Planned Parenthood to abandon our patients and our values is not a deal that we will ever accept. Providing critical health care services for millions of American women is nonnegotiable.”
