Abstract
Opening Paragraph
In the midst of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, during a Republican debate in Houston on February 25, 2016, he promised to defund Planned Parenthood “because of the abortion factor, which they say is 3 percent.” Now, as the President of the United States, he has not forgotten his promise. The Trump Administration has proposed many legislative actions that would severely impact Planned Parenthood’s governmental funding. He proposed a 2018 budget that contained “provisions prohibiting certain abortion providers from receiving Federal funds from [the Department of Health and Human Services].” This includes organizations that receive funding from Title X, the nation’s “only dedicated source of federal funding for family planning.” Furthermore, their proposed GOP health care bill states in Section 103 that, for an entire year, federal funding may not be available to family planning organizations that provide abortions, including Planned Parenthood.
