American Medical Association, Planned Parenthood sue Trump admin for defunding abortion orgs
Planned Parenthood and the American Medical Association (AMA) are taking the Trump administration to court over a new regulation that threatens to cut a tenth of Planned Parenthood’s federal tax funding, claiming it will bring about a “public health crisis.”
Planned Parenthood and the AMA filed their own lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Eugene, Oregon, on Tuesday, NBC News reports. The suit contends that the new rule violates a legal requirement that Title X patients receive complete and unbiased pregnancy information. Without being able to discuss abortion, AMA president Dr. Barbara McAneny argues, “physicians will be prohibited from having open, frank conversations with their patients about all their health care options.”
