@PPFA has been running a promotion on @Twitter ever since @HHSGov announced re-institution of an accounting rule to ensure that federally funded grant recipients use federal $$$ only for their intended purposes.

Here's a sample of their wares:
@PPFA goes on to describe the rule as unethical, and to claim that the rule prevent health care workers from communicating with their patients.

And, on a superficial examination, you might think that they are correct.
They aren't.

Let me 'splain:

21 AGs filed a motion for a nationwide injunction to stop the Trump Administration from banning #TitleX health care providers from talking about abortion with their patients. #GagRule Image
This lawsuit is about protecting low-income women's access to the health care services they need. The Trump Administration has no business controlling the conversations that women have with their doctors and nurses. #TitleX #GagRule
Thank you to the partners and health care providers who submitted declarations along with our motion:
@TapestryWMass
@TheDimockCenter
@BostonABCD
@challiance
@PPMASS
@HealthQFamPlan
@MassDPH

Together we will defeat the President's unconstitutional #TitleX #GagRule.

@PPFA gripes about the Trump administration's revival of programmatic restrictions for grant recipients of Title X Family Planning funds. No matter how America's abortion superstore howls, the rule is entirely constitutional.

@BarackObama liked to taunt, "elections have consequences." One such consequence is that we now have the most anti-abortion-acting President that we have had since the decision in Roe vs. Wade reversed the nation's 170-year history of abortion prohibition.
Notice, I didn't say we now have the most anti-abortion President. I didn't say we now have the most pro-life President. I said the most anti-abortion-acting President.

Shameful, sexist and just plain dangerous. The Trump Admin’s #GagRule shows that it cares more about political stunts than the 2.7 million Americans who rely on Planned Parenthood for basic, lifesaving healthcare every year. *I* was one of these Americans...
I was only able to pay for college through a heck of a lot of waitressing. But I needed to have a physical to even get that job. So I went to @PPact for that basic care, because that’s all I could afford on a student’s budget.
Donald Trump doesn’t seem to get what’s at stake. He doesn’t seem to care that he’s making it harder for predominantly low-income Americans to access the care they desperately need.

We really need to talk more about #abortion as an option for women.
It's hard to say this and hard to hear it for many, but just because you discover you are pregnant doesn't mean you must carry that pregnancy to term. Your decision will last the rest of your life--and the rest of the life of any child you decide to carry to term.
#abortion
And no, I am not advocating #abortion.
I'm advocating thinking about parenthood & all it entails.
Because once you have a child, you can't just walk away from that life.
And women/girls are talked into maintaining pregnancies every day.
More discussion would change that.
