Administration pauses enforcement of abortion restriction 0 SHARES Share it! By law, federal family planning money cannot be used to pay for abortions. Planned Parenthood, whose affiliates operate 400 clinics, provides both family planning and abortion services. Under the administration rule, clinics also will be restricted in how they can discuss abortion as an option with pregnant women. Religious conservatives see the family planning program as providing an indirect subsidy to Planned Parenthood, and they have long sought to deny the organization any federal money.
