That's what is already being done. The government provides some funding to PP's public health branch, but there is no government funding to it's separate private abortion branch (paid for by patients and donations).
What the anti-abortion politicians want to do is force PP to dissolve its private abortion business which receives no government funding or lose its public health services funding (in order to vastly reduce abortion options).
If any other public health agency (or any health agency receiving government funding of any kind) attempted to offer abortion services to fill the void, they'd lose their non-abortion government health funding too.
