SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Planned Parenthood clinics in several states are charging new fees, tapping financial reserves, intensifying fundraising and warning of more unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases after its decision to quit a $260 million federal family planning program in an abortion dispute with the Trump administration.

The fallout is especially intense in Utah, where Planned Parenthood has been the only provider participating in the nearly 50-year-old Title X family planning program and will now lose about $2 million yearly in federal funds that helped 39,000 mostly low-income, uninsured people. It plans to maintain its services — which include contraception, STD testing and cancer screening — but is considering charging a small copay for patients who used to get care for free.

Planned Parenthood in Minnesota is in a similar situation, serving about 90% of the state’s Title X patients, and plans to start charging fees due to the loss of $2.6 million in annual funding.

The organization is concerned about the spread of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.

“We believe there will be a public health crisis created by this denial of care,” said Sarah Stoesz, the Minnesota-based president of Planned Parenthood North Central States. “It’s a very sad day for the country.”

Planned Parenthood and several other providers withdrew from the program earlier this week rather than comply with a newly implemented rule prohibiting participating clinics from referring women for abortions.

Anti-abortion activists who form a key part of President Donald Trump’s base have been campaigning to “defund Planned Parenthood.” Among its varied services it is a major abortion provider, and the activists viewed the grants as an indirect subsidy.

You can anonymously give money to PP, who will then involve themselves in politics on your behalf (if you are a progressive).

Too bad, so sad. Maybe you can solicit funds from those millions brought into your “clinics” by their mothers. Oh, you can’t, because they’re DEAD.

[muskah]

2 million for 39000 patients works out to 50/patient or less than a month cell phone bill. Cry me a river.

[antidemoncrat]

Isn’t our government still giving them about $500 million a year?

BABY KILLERS R US.

That is exactly who and what they are. That other moniker is just like putting lipstick on a pig.

warning of more unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases after its decision

Lack of money causes pregnancy and STD’s?
I thought it was lack of morals. Silly me.

[shanover]

The left has more billionaires than the right. Let those leftards start writing some checks as we continue to ABOLISH the murder of babies.
