WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Friday set up new obstacles for women seeking abortions, barring taxpayer-funded family planning clinics from making abortion referrals. But it could be some time before women served by the federal family program feel the full impact. Administration officials told abortion opponents on a call Friday that they expect legal action, according to a participant. The Trump administration’s policy echoes a Reagan-era regulation that barred clinics from even discussing abortion with women. The Trump administration is now rolling back the Clinton requirement that abortion be discussed as an option along with prenatal care and adoption.
