Trump admin cuts tens of millions from Planned Parenthood
The Title X funds were earmarked for birth control and other non-abortion services.

Update! The House Republicans passed a budget blueprint last night that would cut $880B from Medicaid to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Call your Members of Congress now and tell them to vote no on cuttting $880B from Medicaid in the final budget.

Trump is doing everything in his power to freeze federal aid that many women, children, and families rely on to survive. It’s urgent that you call your Members of Congress and demand they stop Trump from cutting this life saving aid.
