The Trump administration froze $27.5 million in federal funds to Planned Parenthood of Greater New York, citing violations of executive orders that prohibit funding for organizations promoting DEI initiatives and illegal immigration. These actions are part of a broader effort to root out radical left-wing ideology from federal agencies and grant programs. Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider, and they received the funds through a teen pregnancy prevention initiative. But according to the administration, the group’s political activism and promotion of DEI ideology may have rendered it ineligible. Planned Parenthood receives hundreds of millions of dollars in government grants and contracts every year. But so long as they promote DEI, taxpayers will no longer pay their bill.
