The administration of President Donald Trump has redirected nearly $34 million from Planned Parenthood and other entities to non-abortion family planning providers that agreed to comply with the administration’s rule generally prohibiting abortion referrals by the funds’ recipients.

While Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the United States, challenged the rule in court, the organization failed to convince the judge to put it on hold. It then said it will forgo the funds awarded under Title X of the Public Health Service Act, which pays for family planning projects for mostly poor people.
