New York Attorney General Letitia James leads a coalition challenging the Trump administration's act defunding Planned Parenthood, impacting Medicaid-funded reproductive health care.

Darren Beattie, who was fired as a speechwriter during President Donald Trump’s first term after CNN revealed that he spoke at a conference attended by White nationalists, will now serve as the acting president of the US Institute of Peace, a senior State Department official said.

Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider, but that’s not the only service it offers. The nonprofit additionally provides critical services such as physicals, cancer screenings, STI testing, and birth control access, and it does not use public funds to provide abortion care.

Pro-life group 40 Days for Life described the upcoming closure of two Planned Parenthood facilities in Houston, Texas, as a "tremendous victory" for the pro-life movement.
