The step would take the administration's push to clamp down on abortions further. Though there are laws that prevent federal money from funding abortions, but groups like Planned Parenthood still accept federal dollars for services like annual screenings and checkups.
Trump said:
"This proposal does not necessarily defund Planned Parenthood, as long as they're willing to disentangle taxpayer funds from abortion as a method of family planning, which is required by the Title X law. Any grantees that perform, support, or refer for abortion have a choice -- disentangle themselves from abortion or fund their activities with privately raised funds."
