This has taken shape through a range of strategies including defunding Planned Parenthood, cutting funding for the federal Title X family planning program, banning public funding of abortion at the federal and state level, selectively excluding Planned Parenthood from Medicaid reimbursement, prohibiting health coverage even in private insurance markets, and closing local women's health centers under the pretense of protecting women's safety.

While Flake, a devout Mormon, was concerned about Trump's lack of a moral compass and generally appalling behavior, he was also mourning the loss of a more austerity-focused Republican Party—one that made more of an effort to disguise its racism, and was dogmatically committed to free trade, tax cuts for the rich, and the rapid defunding of the social safety net.

But this week delivered a victory for anyone who shares my strongly held conviction that all people deserve access to affordable health care: The Supreme Court allowed lower court rulings to stand in Medicaid "defunding" cases, meaning Medicaid patients in Kansas and Louisiana can continue to rely on Planned Parenthood for birth control, cancer screenings and STD testing and treatment.

The president worked hard to win the votes of anti-abortion advocates during the campaign and wrote a letter to leaders promising to carry out a series of decisions in their favor, including defunding Planned Parenthood, making the Hyde Amendment (which bans federal funds from being used to pay for abortions) permanent, and signing a so-called "fetal pain" protection bill into law.

From Day 1, the White House and its lackeys in certain federal agencies have been waging what amounts to a war on science, appointing people with few scientific credentials to key positions, defunding programs that could lead to a cleaner and safer environment and a healthier population, and, most ominously, censoring scientific inquiry that could inform the public and government policy.

Thank you for publishing the eye-opening investigation into the rise of extremism in the United States, a conflagration facilitated by an administration that avoided naming far-right extremism as terrorism, followed by the current regime's destaffing and defunding of efforts to coordinate and combat homegrown violence, all fueled by Fox News, Breitbart, Infowars, the internet, YouTube algorithms, 4chan and so on.

Of course, the Senate could try to strip that rider, or President Trump could veto the bill, but if the House held firm, the administration's choice would be to mollify the House by turning over subpoenaed information, accept the defunding of the counsel's office, or accept the partial government shutdown that would come with failure to pass the appropriations bill.

"It is also extremely cruel and spiteful to persist in deliberately bashing the Palestinian people by denying them of their rights, giving away their lands and rightful capital of Jerusalem, and defunding UNRWA (the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees) and Palestinian institutions, including East Jerusalem hospitals," fellow PLO Executive Committee member Hanan Ashrawi said in a statement.

A staggering 85% of Americans tuned in for some or all of the 250 hours of Senators grilling John Dean and Co. It was a controversial decision at the time, and the Nixon Administration made veiled threats about defunding PBS for screening it, but the American people lapped up the summer-long soap opera about the cover-up of a burglary.

A federal judge on Wednesday prevented the Justice Department from implementing policies announced by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions earlier this year that disqualified some victims of domestic abuse and gang violence from obtaining asylum in the U.S. Why it matters: Federal courts have delayed or struck down one Trump administration immigration policy after another — from DACA to the asylum ban to the defunding of sanctuary cities.

He formed a transition team for the agency that included some of the nation's most prominent climate science deniers, and created a policy document that recommends withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement, defunding international climate programs, withdrawing regulations on carbon dioxide and methane emissions, and somehow reversing the Supreme Court's ruling saying carbon dioxide should be considered a pollutant under the Clean Air Act.

Not one expressed concern that his administration might hurt women's rights — most dismissed objections of those on the left about how few women he had appointed to his cabinet; the potential defunding of Planned Parenthood, which several mistakenly believed received federal funding for abortions; and even the viral photos showing roomfuls of men proposing to remove maternity care and mammogram screenings from required health insurance benefits.

There was the freeze on important HIV science involving fetal cell tissue, the defunding of Planned Parenthood, White House interference in an international breastfeeding resolution for women's health, the elimination of a science adviser's office at the Environmental Protection Agency, and all the rollbacks of environmental protections at EPA and Interior, backed by a White House trying to downplay two major climate science reports.

John McCain (R-AZ), Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), who all voted to kill the Senate's latest health bill push — a "skinny repeal" that did away with the individual and employer mandate in addition to repealing the medical devices tax and defunding Planned Parenthood — have long decried Republican leadership's secret strategy over Obamacare repeal, pushing for a return to regular order, with committee hearings and bipartisan reforms.

United Nations Foundation president and CEO Kathy Calvin called the defunding "unacceptable and in stark contrast to American values" in a statement: UNFPA is on the front lines in more than 150 countries, often in places where the U.S. can't be, providing critical services, such as voluntary family planning, midwife training, pre-natal care and safe delivery services, and working to end child marriage and female genital mutilation.

And if the GOP foregoes the anti-abortion provisions, it would likely anger many conservatives who oppose Planned Parenthood and would like to see it defunded (even though the organization can't use federal funds to provide abortions because of the Hyde Amendment, and the Medicaid reimbursements it receives cover health services such as birth control and cancer screenings.) It's not the first time the Byrd rule has been considered in relation to defunding Planned Parenthood.

"All I ask today is to include me and those like me, and not exclude us, by simply acknowledging that thoughtful Republicans represent multiple views on the definition of marriage," implored Rachel Hoff, a delegate from Washington, DC.

By reinstating and massively expanding the Global Gag Rule in January 2017, defunding the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) just a few months later, and proposing to cut funding for international reproductive health and family planning in half -- what would be a more than $300 million decline -- the Trump administration has created a perfect storm that jeopardizes the health and rights of millions of the world's most marginalized women and families and threatens global economic progress.

Between the less-than-adequate maternity leave plan that she took most of the credit for (which would have excluded non-married mothers, adoptive parents, and same-sex couples) and her complete and total silence as the GOP has pushed for the defunding of Planned Parenthood and rolled back protections for women in the workplace, many people remain unconvinced that Ivanka is as committed to the well-being and advancement of women as she claims to be.
