Planned Parenthood has had a bad month. Its president left the organisation last week after serving for less than a year, the Trump administration announced that federally funded family planning clinics that refer for abortions would lose funding under Title X, and a judge threw out the organisation’s claim in its lawsuit against pro-life activist David Daleiden that his investigative reporting incited “threats” and “violence”.
The White House backtracked slightly on Saturday, announcing that it would wait two months for clinics to prove they were no longer referring for abortions. But the new rule nevertheless represents a significant threat to Planned Parenthood’s bottom line.
