Planned Parenthood rejects abortion "gag order," exits Title X program

Planned Parenthood said all of its clinics will formally leave Title X, the marquee federal program dedicated to providing birth control to low-income women. A change to the program last year requires beneficiaries to comply with a so-called "gag order" on abortion services — something that Planned Parenthood said it isn't willing to do. The clinic's exit will result in a loss of millions of federal dollars.

In a conference call with reporters on Monday, Planned Parenthood's new leader, Alexis McGill Johnson, announced all the health care clinic's affiliates would be sending letters to the Department of Health and Human Services Monday, formally announcing their resignation from Title X. She warned that without Planned Parenthood, low-income women in rural areas would struggle to find affordable birth control options.

"For too many people struggling to make ends meet, it may be that they may go without care," Johnson said on the call.

In other words the gov't want them to abide by the guidelines of an agreement. And they're being typical corrupt, get over on the gov't assholes. Plus this makes the public more accountable for their actions and God forbid that. Lets just give them what they need at the expense of everybody else. And throw in a good salary for me while your at it. Bunch o crap.
