The House passed a bill allowing the president to revoke nonprofits’ tax-exempt status if deemed terrorist-supporting, which critics, including Planned Parenthood and the ACLU, argue could threaten healthcare services like cancer screenings, birth control, STI testing, abortion care, and gender-affirming care; as the bill moves to the Senate, Planned Parenthood warns of potential funding cuts affecting public healthcare.

The ACLU and reproductive rights groups like Planned Parenthood of America vocally opposed the bill and tried to warn lawmakers of the dangers.

    Why the fuck would you want this kond of power in hands of the president. At least keep the power with the Senate… or with the judiciary branch where it belongs.
