With Trump's Family-Planning Decision Due, Planned Parenthood's Wen Vows To Protect Reproductive Rights

Lena Wen spoke recently about the impact the changes would have on women, especially disadvantaged women: 鈥淚 want people to think about what if this were any other aspect of medical care. Imagine if the Trump administration prevented people with diabetes from talking to their doctors about insulin.''

Planned Parenthood鈥檚 new president, Leana Wen, is gearing up for the battle of her life. With the Trump administration expected to announce its final plan for the $260 million in Title X family-planning funding any day, the organization is likely to take a huge hit. But Wen said the fight is far from over. Under the proposal announced in May, clinics that provide abortion services or referrals alongside family planning 鈥 such as Planned Parenthood 鈥 would be barred from receiving any money. Health centers are allowed to use nonfederal funds for abortions, but the new rule would require a 鈥渂right line鈥 of physical and financial separation. Planned Parenthood serves about 41 percent of Title X patients and receives about $60 million from the program to provide basic services such as cancer screenings, birth control, screenings for sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy tests and well-woman exams.
