I need to clarify my last posts.
The Executive Order that Trump signed today (banning funds to organizations which include abortion in their family planning consultations and services) applies to U.S. government aide to health organizations overseas. That includes Planned Parenthood International and all other health providers.
President Trump's administration has vowed to defund Planned Parenthood in the U.S. as well and invoke similar restrictions on health providers and women here. But, that's pending, not done -- it requires congressional approval (can't be done by Executive Order).
