Why an Attack on Planned Parenthood Is an Attack on Transgender People

15 Aug 2018  |  medium.com  |  English  |  Abortion

The Trump administration's proposed gag rule, which would deny federal funds to healthcare providers that mention abortion, is seen as a direct attack on transgender people. This rule would significantly impact Planned Parenthood, a major provider of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and other essential healthcare services for transgender individuals. The article argues that the administration's actions are part of a broader war on the well-being of transgender people, potentially limiting their access to necessary medical care and exacerbating existing healthcare disparities.

Trump considers federal abortion ban a vote-loser and is unlikely to support one

07 Oct 2023  |  ca.sports.yahoo.com  |  English  |  Republican Party

Donald Trump views a federal abortion ban as a losing strategy for Republicans in the upcoming 2024 presidential election and is unlikely to support such a policy. He believes that reproductive rights should be left to the states, aligning with the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Trump's stance is influenced by the Republican losses in the midterm elections and the general unpopularity of making abortion mostly or entirely illegal. His position contrasts with other Republican figures like Ron DeSantis and Mike Pence, who may adopt more hard-line stances. Trump's approach includes endorsing exceptions for rape, incest, and harm to the mother, appointing conservative judges, and removing federal funds for Planned Parenthood. This stance has drawn criticism from prominent anti-abortion groups, who demand national restrictions.

Montana May Not Remain an Island of Abortion Access

01 Oct 2023  |  www.governing.com  |  English  |  Judicial Elections

Abortion remains legal in Montana due to a state Supreme Court ruling protecting it under the right to privacy. Efforts by the Republican governor and legislature to restrict abortion have been blocked by the courts. A proposed constitutional amendment to protect abortion rights is facing legal challenges. Two state Supreme Court seats up for election could influence future abortion rulings. Planned Parenthood and other advocates are actively involved in legal battles and monitoring judicial races. The political landscape in Montana shows a mix of conservative and libertarian views, with recent momentum for abortion rights following the U.S. Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade.

If Trump Succeeds in Defunding Planned Parenthood, Black Women Could Be Affected the Most

24 Nov 2016  |  The Root  |  English  |  Political Debate

President-elect Donald Trump's commitment to defund Planned Parenthood could disproportionately affect black women. Planned Parenthood, which provides a range of health services including abortions, is ready to fight back. The organization's revenue is partly from government grants, which are at risk. The Black Women’s Health Imperative warns of dire consequences for women of color and low-income communities if defunding occurs. Conservatives, including Concerned Women for America and Republican leaders like Paul Ryan, are intensifying efforts to shift funding away from Planned Parenthood to other community health centers that do not provide abortions.

Joe Biden Begins To Undo Donald Trump's Ban On Abortion Referrals

15 Apr 2021  |  https://www.outlookindia.com/  |  English  |  US Politics

The Biden administration is working to reverse the Trump-era ban on abortion referrals, fulfilling a campaign promise. The Department of Health and Human Services proposed a rule to restore the federal family planning program, Title X, to its pre-Trump state, allowing clinics to refer women seeking abortions to providers. The Trump administration's policy, which restricted abortion referrals and required clinics to separate from abortion facilities, led to a significant reduction in the program's reach and an increase in unintended pregnancies. The proposed changes aim to enhance affordability and address racial and ethnic disparities. The rule reversal is part of broader efforts, including recent FDA changes allowing telehealth for abortion pill prescriptions during the pandemic. The Supreme Court is set to hear a challenge to the Trump-era rules, with arguments expected in the fall.

It highlights disparities in COVID-19 vaccine distribution and mortality rates among Black residents. The House of Representatives recently voted to make D.C. the 51st state, but the bill's success is uncertain, with the need for Republican support and Democratic Senator Joe Manchin's indecision.

Pro-Life Cause Likely Unaffected by Republican Midterm Losses

08 Nov 2018  |  spectator.org  |  English  |  Supreme Court

The Senate's role in confirming Supreme Court nominees is crucial for pro-life advocates, with President Trump having appointed two pro-life justices and potentially nominating more. State-level pro-life victories occurred in West Virginia and Alabama, while Oregon rejected an end to state-funded abortions, reflecting a divide on abortion between rural evangelical and urban agnostic states. The Republican loss of the House may hinder pro-life budget changes, but the Senate and Courts are still favorably positioned for pro-life advocacy, despite challenges in legislating due to the House loss.

If Roe v. Wade is overturned, women of color would suffer the greatest impact

10 Mar 2022  |  Alianza News  |  Spanish  |  Reproductive Health

Over 36 million women could lose access to safe abortions if the conservative majority of the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. Experts from Ethnic Media Services highlight that women from ethnic communities, who will be the majority in the U.S. by 2060, are the most vulnerable. Activists argue that recent state-level restrictions, such as Texas' SB8, disproportionately affect women of color. Planned Parenthood and other organizations are preparing for a significant increase in demand for abortion services in states like California if Roe v. Wade is overturned. The article underscores the potential cultural and societal impacts of such a decision.
