Fuck.
Without any media present, Donald Trump went behind closed doors today to sign a bill that allows states to withhold federal funds from Planned Parenthood and other organizations that provide abortion services.
This action overturns Barack Obama‘s measure requiring state and local governments to distribute federal Title X funding for services related to contraception, fertility, pregnancy care, and cervical cancer screenings to women’s healthcare providers, regardless of whether they offer abortion services.

Planned Parenthood Executive Vice President Dawn Laguens said of Drumpf’s latest rule:
“Planned Parenthood strongly opposes President Trump’s willingness to undermine millions of women’s access to birth control through the Title X family planning program. Four million people depend on the Title X family planning program, and by signing this bill, President Trump disregards their health and well-being.”
Understandably, outrage ensued on the Internet after news broke of POTUS’ sneaky move:
Congress & Trump admin removed #TitleX rule:
– without debate
– without a majority
– & signed behind closed doorshttps://t.co/ePLeIUcaOq pic.twitter.com/dAbFJpujFu

Dropping the mother of all bombs the day he signs legislation to take away Planned Parenthood for mothers of actual humans is highly Trumpy.

Trump & Pence are attacking Planned Parenthood because Trump & Pence hate women. Period. (They’re certainly grossed out by those, too.)

This does not de-fund abortion. It de-funds cancer screenings, birth control, STI treatment & well-woman exams.https://t.co/kdTgqA4sVW
