Trump abortion restrictions effective immediately
Source: AP
WASHINGTON Taxpayer-funded family planning clinics must stop referring women for abortions immediately, the Trump administration said Monday, declaring it will begin enforcing a new regulation hailed by religious conservatives and denounced by medical organizations and womens rights groups.
The head of a national umbrella group representing the clinics said the administration is following an ideological agenda that could disrupt basic health care for many low-income women.
Ahead of a planned conference Tuesday with the clinics, the Health and Human Services Department formally notified them that it will begin enforcing the ban on abortion referrals, along with a requirement that clinics maintain separate finances from facilities that provide abortions. Another requirement that both kinds of facilities cannot be under the same roof would take effect next year.
The rule is widely seen as a blow against Planned Parenthood, which provides taxpayer-funded family planning and basic health care to low-income women, as well as abortions that must be paid for separately. The organization is a mainstay of the federally funded family planning program and it has threatened to quit over the issue.

Governing by decree is how it is accomplished.
Why do you think McTurtle and the other 62 co-conspirators say nothing.
They can't - it would break the system.

Because in their magical fantasy world, that fetus has a human soul even though it has a tail.
In their magical universe, even though their rule book clearly has no problem with abortion or helping others or incest or slavery, the fetus with the tail is more important than the woman with the womb.

(2,032 posts)The Trump administrations policy echoes a Reagan-era regulation that barred clinics from even discussing abortion with women. It never went into effect as written, although the Supreme Court ruled it was appropriate.

There is NOT ONE law ANYWHERE in this nation that places restrictions on what men can and cannot do with their reproductive health.
See this for what it is : A WAR ON WOMEN. These religious freaks will not be happy until ALL birth control methods are prohibited by law. It's all about controlling women.
When the pendulum swings back - and it always does - there's going to be Hell to pay.
