Trump Gives States The Okay To Defund Planned Parenthood

The nation’s largest family planning provider, of course, declined the offer. “We would never abandon the women who count on us in exchange for cash,” Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, told The New York Times in an interview.
