Planned Parenthood says it will drop participation in a federal program that supports family planning services because of new restrictions placed by the Trump administration.
Planned Parenthood announced on Monday that it will drop participation in a federal program that supports family planning services because of new restrictions placed by the Trump administration, calling a recent regulation an"assault on access to birth control and reproductive health care, especially for people struggling to make ends meet."
Planned Parenthood has been fighting the regulation in court, but was supposed to submit by Monday a"compliance" plan with enforcement expected Sept. 18. Mia Heck, an official at the Department of Health and Human Services, said Planned Parenthood was"abandoning" its patients. Under previous rules for the program, participating clinics had to provide a pregnant women seeking an abortion with a referral and information about the procedure if she asked. The provider was not, however, allowed to promote abortion or help with the logistics such as scheduling an appointment or providing transportation.
"The impact this will have on our most vulnerable populations will be significant," he said in a statement.
