Planned Parenthood Defunded by President Trump
It’s become a political symbol, albeit an important one:
Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order Sunday that halts funding for Planned Parenthood’s international operations.

After Reagan ordered all funds be cut from the group – and any international group that won’t refuse to perform abortions, President Bill Clinton restored the funding.
