Just one other reason to celebrate the Trump Presidency.

Planned Parenthood Set to Lose $60 Million: Court of Appeals Upholds Trump Administration's Effort to Defund The Abortion Giant

(Washington, DC) — [CBN News] A US appeals court refused to block new rules Friday from the Trump administration that prohibit clinics that receive federal funds from referring patients for abortions. That's a big blow to Planned Parenthood. The nation's largest abortion provider has been in the Title X program for decades and receives almost $60 million in funding from the program each year.

But the appeals court has now rejected a lawsuit by Planned Parenthood and others to overturn the Trump administration's new rules. The same panel of judges in July allowed the administration to go ahead with enforcement.

Planned Parenthood said Wednesday it will withdraw from the program by the close of business on Monday, Aug. 19, unless the full 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco would halt the new rules.

Monday is the deadline set by the Department of Health and Human Services for participants in the family planning program to submit plans on how they would comply with the rules, which are set to take effect Sept. 18.

Planned Parenthood said the administration's new policy is "dangerous," amounting to a "gag rule" on clinicians.

In response, HHS spokeswoman Mia Heck said Planned Parenthood represents fewer than 400 of 4,000 service sites providing medical care to women around the country.

"To the extent that Planned Parenthood claims that it must make burdensome changes to comply with the final rule, it is actually choosing to place a higher priority on the ability to refer for abortion instead of continuing to receive federal funds to provide a broad range of acceptable and effective family planning methods," Heck said in a statement.

About 4 million women are served nationwide under the federal program, which distributes $260 million in grants to clinics, most of which will continue to provide healthcare.

Pro-life groups are commending President Donald Trump for keeping his campaign promise to defund Planned Parenthood.

Please pray fervently that we could see this blight of killing babies LEGALLY in America come to an end.  The liberals will tell you that they might not like abortion but still believe in a women's right to choose.  Yes, she had a right to choose when she CHOSE to have sex knowing full well that intercourse is what makes babies.  But once a baby is made, she does not have any right to kill another human being because it's birth would inconvenience her.
