Planned Parenthood Seeks Cash After Bailing from US Program

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Planned Parenthood is concerned about the spread of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases after its decision to quit a $260 million federal family planning program in a dispute with the Trump administration over abortion. Clinics in several states are charging new fees, tapping into financial reserves and intensifying fundraising to close the gap. Several providers withdrew from the program rather than follow a rule prohibiting clinics from referring women for abortions.
