Stars turn out for Planned Parenthood gala honouring Clinton
Independently, House and Senate panels have referred Planned Parenthood Federation of America and five of its affiliates to the U.S. Department of Justice for criminal investigation and prosecution for their part in the illegal trafficking of aborted baby body parts. “Our goal is to have Planned Parenthood shut down completely in our city”.
But there’s something else in the measure: It says if the health department does get all the money, it can not redistribute any to any family planning agency that also does abortions, even if none of those family planning dollars actually are used to terminate pregnancies. She told LifeNews that the budget language would have redistributed tax dollars to community health centers, which provide more comprehensive medical services without doing abortions.
House Speaker Paul Ryan said during a Tuesday press briefing that “Planned Parenthood is not funded” in the current budget deal, clashing with statements made by other Republicans Monday.
Weintraub said that abortion is one of many options offered by Planned Parenthood, but that, by law, government funds are never used for abortions.
“I am pleased that the House adopted an amendment I authored that would ensure that individuals with pre-existing conditions are protected in every situation for every family, in every state, especially California”, he said.

Funds that would be stripped from Planned Parenthood would be redirected to comprehensive Federally Qualified Health Centers.
“Voters in these districts like Planned Parenthood, they like the Affordable Care Act, and efforts to hurt those things will imperil the Republicans in these districts as they look toward reelection next year”. And stripping people of their right to choose the health care provider of their choice is not only against Montana values, it’s unsafe for our state. But conservatives say no abortion provider should get Medicaid reimbursements, even for health services such as cancer screenings and birth control, arguing that the money is all fungible. We’re so proud at Planned Parenthood.
Federal judges struck down that law.
During the meeting, Ivanka suggested that Planned Parenthood should be split into two organizations, with a smaller arm that provides abortions and a larger one dedicated to providing women’s health services. That even includes accounting for all overhead expenses like rent, lights and heat.
The governor’s office has not yet responded to news of the lawsuit. “Mike is taking a methodical, studious approach in trying to fix it”.
