Trump Admin Ends Abortion 'Slush Fund,' Frees Taxpayers from 

'Forced Partnership with Abortion Industry'

WASHINGTON – The Trump administration has delivered a blow to the abortion industry, finalizing a rule that redirects Title X family planning funds away from groups like Planned Parenthood, which is America's biggest abortion provider.

Under the new rule, health clinics must be "physically and financially" separate from abortion providers in order to receive Title X family planning grants.

To get those grants, women's clinics also won't be permitted to refer clients to other places to get an abortion. Moreover, clinics will not be allowed to promote abortion as a family planning method.

A statement from the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List praises the new rule, saying in past years Planned Parenthood has received almost $60 million in Title X grants.

"We thank President Trump for taking decisive action to disentangle taxpayers from the big abortion industry led by Planned Parenthood," said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser.

"The Protect Life Rule does not cut family planning funding by a single dime, and instead directs tax dollars to entities that provide healthcare to women but do not perform abortions," she continued.

She pointed out that Title X program was never intended to be a "slush fund" for abortion groups like Planned Parenthood, "which violently ends the lives of more than 332,000 unborn babies a year."

"We thank President Trump and (Health and Human Services Secretary Alex) Azar for ensuring that the Title X program is truly about funding family planning, not abortion," Dannenfelser concluded.

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins also praised the move by the Trump administration, calling it "a major step toward the ultimate goal of ending taxpayers' forced partnership with the abortion industry."

"Planned Parenthood and other abortion centers will now have to choose between dropping their abortion services from any location that gets Title X dollars and moving those abortion operations offsite. Either way, this will loosen the group's hold on tens of millions of tax dollars," he said.

Trump Admin Moves Toward Recognizing Israeli Sovereignty Over Golan Heights - ISRAEL TODAY

Trump Admin Moves Toward Recognizing Israeli Sovereignty Over Golan Heights

America

For the first time ever, the United States on Friday intended to vote against an annual UN resolution condemning Israel's annexation of the Golan Heights.

Ever since Israel seized control of the strategic plateau on the 1967 Six Day War, the US has abstained when the resolution titled "The Occupied Syrian Golan" was brought to a vote. While the resolution is non-binding, the annual ritual has served as an international censure of Israel's decision in the early 1980s to bring the Golan under its sovereignty.

In one of her final major actions before resigning her post, US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley was set to proudly and officially change the American position on the matter by voting "no" on the resolution.

And, while Haley's vote won't keep the resolution from passing, it will certainly upset the balance of international diplomacy vis-a-vis the Israeli-Arab conflict by signaling that the US now accepts the Jewish state's maintaining long-term control over the Golan.

In a statement announcing the shift, Haley pointed out that with Syria in tatters, and its rulers having proved themselves to be dangerous war criminals, "if this resolution ever made sense, it surely does not today."

In thanking Haley, Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon said it was high time for the rest of the world to join Trump's America in distinguishing "between those who stabilize the region and those who sow terror." Much the same argument has been made for maintaining Israeli security control, if not sovereignty, over the so-called "Palestinian occupied territories."
