On Friday, the Trump administration will announce a proposed rule to cut taxpayer funding to abortionists like Planned Parenthood under Title X....The executive action is based on a 1988 Reagan regulation.
“The proposal would require a bright line of physical as well as financial separation between Title X programs and any program (or facility) where abortion is performed, supported, or referred for as a method of family planning,” a Trump administration official tells.
The 1970 law establishing Title X states: “None of the funds appropriated under this title shall be used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning.” But in the 1970s and 1980s, the law was interpreted to allow Title X programs to refer patients for abortions, be co-located with abortion clinics, and lobby for pro-abortion policies—so long as federal dollars did not directly fund abortions. In 1988, President Reagan's secretary of Health and Human Services issued regulations to end these practices that blurred the line between funding contraception and promoting abortion.
The 1988 Reagan regulation was immediately challenged in court and never enforced, but it was upheld by the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision in the case Rust v. Sullivan. By the time abortionists might have actually lost their Title X funds, however, Bill Clinton took office and killed the Reagan regulation, a policy that has remained in effect to this day. This anti-abortion regulation wasn’t reinstated by the George W. Bush administration.

It is hard to believe that their desire to kill babies is so strong ..........
There is much regarding our laws already in place that are NOT enforced in Government........if you’ve stayed abreast of Trumps ways of doing things he is now requiring people to meet and or report..........they are accountable ...for what they do or give real reason why things aren’t being done.
.....”probably wouldn’t have done this”....
Oh I do think he would have...when I was undecided about Trump I spent hours looking back at his entire life....astounded to find the man pretty much consistent, actually surprised to see that it was so.
I think he played ‘Hollywood politics’ alot but when it came down to where he stood outside of their games he was and remains consistent..and he’s not playing he’s in charge!
How long until the left pulls out a fed judge to stop this? By next week?
