Antiabortion Group Looking To Siphon Patients From Planned Parenthood Gets Significant Family Planning Program Funding

On Friday, the Trump administration awarded $250 million in Title X federal family planning grants, including as much as $5.1 million to a nonprofit organization funded by allies of the Catholic Church. Both supporters and opponents of abortion rights cast it as a potentially significant move to try to defund medical clinics that provide abortions. Meanwhile, Utah offers an example of how hard the new rules dictating who gets family planning grants will hit red states even if they might not realize it yet. And in other news, the administration is asking a judge to throw out a lawsuit over contraception-coverage rules.
