Trump offered to allow Planned Parenthood to keep funding if they would stop offering abortions and they turned it down.
On Facebook a lot of liberals were saying that Planned Parenthood doesn't receive funding. But the truth is that they receive reimbursements from Medicaid and Title X. Federal law does not allow Title X to be used for Abortions but Medicaid can be used for them with restrictions and who knows how tightly those are followed since states have other laws as well?
Planned Parenthood "Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) is the primary provider of abortions in the U.S. According to PPFA’s 2014-2015 annual report, it committed 323,999 abortions in 2014." http://www.frc.org/plannedparenthoodfacts
They claim it's a small number compared to the other services they provide (3% toward abortions is the claim).
Do you think they should have accepted the offer (it's not a formal offer made to them)?
