This week, President Trump was reported in The New York Times to have informally told Planned Parenthood they would get their $500 million in federal funds if they would stop abortions.
No federal funds are used for abortions, said Planned Parenthood, which rejected the deal. In addition, the Republicans’ health care bill calls for defunding Planned Parenthood.
On Tuesday, the local Planned Parenthood called for a rapid response rally at 5:30 p.m. in front of Congressmen Kevin Yoder’s office at 7326 W. 79th St., Overland Park, Kan. Yoder represents the Third District, which includes Wyandotte County.
