Trump Defunds Planned Parenthood; Arizona Jury Awards Whistle Blower Ex-Director Millions

By Life Site News. Nearly two years after Mayra Rodriguez sued the abortion provider Planned Parenthood for wrongful termination after she exposed negative health complications for women using their services, a jury awarded the Arizona woman $3 million in damages this past Friday.

Rodriguez worked for the abortion behemoth for 17 years. In 2017, she was fired by her employer “after repeatedly making claims that Planned Parenthood was endangering the health and safety of their patients,” according to LifeNews.com Specifically, Rodriguez reported “high complication rates for one abortionist” and also “exposed the abortionist’s illegal conduct falsification of affidavits and patient records, incomplete abortions, and failure to report a minor who had an adult partner and was a victim of statutory rape.”

Rodriguez, who ran three Planned Parenthood clinics in Arizona, turned to Abby Johnson’s “And Then There Were None” non-profit. Johnson, herself a former Planned Parenthood director, started the non-profit to encourage women to leave the abortion industry and reveal the truth about the organization. . .

Planned Parenthood receives more than $500 million annually from United States’ taxpayers for their activities. But, President Donald J. Trump’s administration recently won a significant legal hurdle which allows the federal government to block organizations, like Planned Parenthood, that receive Title X funding from using this money towards abortions. Planned Parenthood receives about $60 million each year from Title X funding. (Read more from “Woman Awarded $3 Million After Being Fired for Exposing Planned Parenthood’s Cruelty” HERE)

Planned Parenthood Leaves Federal Program, Loses Funding for Low-Cost Services

By KCCI. Planned Parenthood announced Monday that it will not comply with a new Trump administration rule banning it from referring patients for abortion services.

In doing so, the nonprofit reproductive health care organization will no longer be eligible to receive federal Title X funding for family planning.

In Iowa, Planned Parenthood officials said Title X funds provided low-income patients with birth control and cancer screenings.

“Planned Parenthood will do everything in our power to continue to care for our patients and we will need to make up this money through some private funding (and) private donations to ensure all patients can get that health care they need,” said Jamie Burch Elliott, public affairs manager at Planned Parenthood North Central States.
