WASHINGTON — The nation's largest doctors' group on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to strike down a Trump administration rule that's had a far-reaching impact on family planning by prohibiting taxpayer-funded clinics from referring women for abortions.
The AMA's move will raise the profile of a reproductive rights issue overshadowed by bigger election-year battles. The recent death of liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has prompted speculation that a more conservative court could overturn the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion, as well as the Obama health law that expanded coverage and made birth control free for most women.
As a result, more than 900 out of nearly 4,000 clinics receiving federal funds left the program, including Planned Parenthood and its affiliates. Advocates say the exodus has disrupted care for women who receive birth control and routine medical attention from the clinics. The program usually serves some 4 million clients, and the AMA says that was down about 20% last year.
Casting the case as an issue of free speech and medical ethics, the AMA said the administration's rule attempts to control communication between clinicians and patients by prohibiting abortion referrals, while at the same time compelling clinics to refer pregnant women for prenatal care, even if a woman has decided that she wants to have an abortion.
Abortion remains a legal medical procedure, but the number and rate of abortions is at its lowest point in nearly 50 years. Improved access to birth control is seen as one of the reasons.

Doctors ask Supreme Court to strike down Trump abortion ruleThe American Medical Association is asking the Supreme Court to strike down a Trump administration rule that's had a far-reaching impact on family planning by prohibiting taxpayer-funded clinics from referring women for abortions. I object on this rule's!!😎 Any woman in danger of a fetus either miscarries or goes in for a c section. Aborting via vaginal dilation is a more lengthy procedure that risks leaving fetal material in the uterus which can threaten the mother’s life. Why should US taxpayers pay for abortions? The answer is that they shouldn’t. Wise up and stop with the nonsense.

AMA and Planned Parenthood ask Supreme Court to block federal abortion referral ruleThe American Medical Association, the main industry group for doctors, is asking the Supreme Court to block the Trump administration rule barring federally funded health care providers in the Title X family planning program from referring patients for abortions. Gotta keep on killing babies. Only those drinking the China owned media's lies are so easily scared about Roe V Wade being overruled. The bottom line is it would go back to each individual state to decide. It's a states right issue. Most will allow abortion, few won't.
