Defunding Planned Parenthood is really an attempt to take away access to abortion in states where it is legal,” said one leader of the women’s health care organization.

Planned Parenthood is fighting for its life. The organization provides health care to women across the country. But President Donald Trump's budget bill targets its funding, the latest front in GOP efforts to kill one of the country's leading abortion providers.

In a press conference held Wednesday, Planned Parenthood of Northern New England (PPNNE) says the provisions in the bill are a “backdoor abortion ban,” punishing states like Maine who have historically protected abortion through withholding federal funds.
