The BBB closes funding gaps and cuts off Medicaid reimbursements to organizations like Planned Parenthood that perform abortions.&nbsp;&nbsp;The blow to Planned Parenthood\u2019s federal funding is severe.&nbsp;&nbsp;The organization could lose up to $500 million, or about 25% of its annual revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Not surprisingly, Planned Parenthood went judge shopping to try and get its funding back.&nbsp;&nbsp;They found a friend in one of the most pro-abortion judges in the country, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, who was happy to issue a preliminary injunction halting the funding cuts.&nbsp;&nbsp;Her legal reasoning was patent nonsense, and the injunction will surely be overturned on appeal.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. bluntly stated in a legal memo responding to Planned Parenthood\u2019s lawsuit: \u201cPlanned Parenthood has no right to taxpayer money, and this Court should not invent such a right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">But every day that Talwani\u2019s order remains in place, money continues to flow into PP\u2019s coffers, babies continue to die, and women continue to be harmed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Planned Parenthood\u2019s abortion empire continues to crumble despite this ruling, however.&nbsp;&nbsp;Over the past few weeks, more than two dozen clinics have already shut down or announced they are going to close.&nbsp;&nbsp;The closures include Houston\u2019s massive abortion center, which was the largest in the Western Hemisphere, and one of Planned Parenthood\u2019s oldest, located in Manhattan and formerly run by Margaret Sanger\u2019s grandson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The abortion giant is closing clinics in both Blue States, like California and Minnesota, as well as Red States like Iowa, Michigan, Utah, Texas, and Ohio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">All of this has sent Planned Parenthood into hysterics.&nbsp;&nbsp;CEO Alexis McGill Johnson screeched in a recent&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.plannedparenthood.org\/blog\/planned-parenthood-defunded-but-were-still-here?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blog post<\/a>&nbsp;that \u201cRepublicans in Congress and President Trump just decided you don\u2019t deserve healthcare.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;She went on to insist that the funding cuts mean that women will be left without access to vital services like birth control and cancer screenings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This is doubly false.&nbsp;&nbsp;First, as we already pointed out, PP abortuaries provide little in the way of general healthcare.&nbsp;&nbsp;Second, there are thousands upon thousands of community health centers in the U.S. that do offer real, comprehensive care for women and their unborn babies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">According to a new&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lozierinstitute.org\/new-report-15-to-1-community-health-centers-outnumber-planned-parenthood-facilities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">report&nbsp;<\/a>by the Charlotte Lozier Institute, there are more than 8,800 such centers in the U.S., outnumbering Planned Parenthood clinics by more than 15 to 1. These federally qualified centers and rural health clinics do not do abortions.&nbsp;&nbsp;But they do everything else, from prenatal care and primary care to cancer screenings and mental health services, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This is not a healthcare crisis.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s a long-overdue course correction.&nbsp;&nbsp;Americans should never have been forced to bankroll an abortion giant whose business model is to abort as many unborn children as possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Every abortion clinic that closes saves lives, and saving lives is, after all, the purpose of authentic healthcare\u2013which Planned Parenthood has never provided to the women who made the mistake of entering into one of their death traps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong><em>The Population Research Institute is a non-profit research organization whose core values hold that people are the world\u2019s greatest resource.
