Vance Confirms Trump Plan to Defund Planned Parenthood

JD Vance, Trump's running mate, emphasized the campaign's stance against taxpayer funding for late-term abortions, renewing focus on reproductive rights.

Sen. JD Vance reiterated that a Trump administration would seek to defund Planned Parenthood, citing opposition to taxpayer-funded late-term abortions.
During Trump's first term, efforts to defund Planned Parenthood were attempted through Title X changes but faced legal challenges.
Planned Parenthood's federal funding primarily comes from Medicaid reimbursements, which cover various health services beyond abortion.
Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign criticized the defunding plan, stressing its impact on women's access to essential health care services.
Trump has stated he would leave abortion policy to states, despite past efforts to influence national reproductive rights through Supreme Court appointments.
