Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin will reportedly pause scheduling abortion appointments starting Oct. 1, due to fears of losing Medicaid funding because of a provision in the Trump administration's federal funding bill which bars clinics that provide abortions from accepting Medicaid funds.

3. Trump administration faces backlash for restoring Title X funding to Planned Parenthood

In a statement shared with The Christian Post, White House spokesperson Kush Desai confirmed that the Trump administration has issued Planned Parenthood “the fifth and final year of Title X grants that were locked in place during the Biden presidency.” Desai told CP “the Administration faced significant legal challenges in stopping any of these dollars from going out,” adding that the administration “remains committed to realigning the Title X program with the president’s pro-life and pro-family agenda going forward.”

This news did not sit well with pro-life activists. Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, released a statement decrying the move to give the abortion provider Title X funding as “a clear abandonment as the first Trump administration enacted the Protect Life Rule to stop Title X funding of Planned Parenthood.” According to Dannenfelser, “It should have been [a] ‘Day One’ policy in the second administration. Instead, we are 14 months in, and this hasn’t been prevented.”

Lila Rose, president of Live Action, condemned the “betrayal of the pro-life Americans who expected this administration to stand firmly against abortion and against the forced public funding of those who commit it.” Rose maintained that “the American people should not be made to subsidize abortion businesses under the guise of women’s health.” 

“Title X funds should go to real health care providers that serve women and families without taking innocent human life. The administration should reverse course immediately and fully defund Planned Parenthood,” she added.
