(SRN NEWS)  Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin is performing abortions again after a nearly month-long pause due to federal Medicaid funding cuts. The state chapter says it was able to resume offering abortions because it relinquished its status as an “essential community provider.”  The organization says by doing that, it no longer fits the definition of a prohibited entity under the federal law and can receive Medicaid funds.  President Trump has vowed to do all that he can to prevent taxpayers from funding abortion in this country.  Planned Parenthood is America’s number one abortion provider taking in hundreds of millions of dollars annually. 

(  )  So-called “climate change” is apparently a factor in America’s falling birth rate.  Younger generations are increasingly citing climate change as making them reluctant to have children, according to several studies.  They are worried about bringing children into a world which they have been told will feature increasing and more intense extreme weather events.  But many researchers are pointing to the dangers of the declining birth rate in the U.S. and all industrialized nations.  If that trend continues, the experts say, there will likely be economic collapse.  The U.S. birth rate is 1.6 — well below the 2.1 replacement rate. 

(  )  With about 100 days to go until the Winter Games in Italy, the U.S. Olympic Committee has begun the process of trying to keep males from getting into female events.  The Committee now requires athletes who want to compete in women’s events to take an SRY gene test, which identifies the Y chromosome found in males.  It’s the same test that track and boxing federations adopted earlier in the year.  In July, the USOC barred men from competing in women’s sports, telling its national governing bodies they had an obligation to comply with President Trump’s executive order to that effect.

(  )  A federal judge in Oregon has blocked President Trump from pulling sexual education funding over curricula mentioning so-called “gender diversity”.  U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken issued the preliminary injunction as part of a lawsuit filed against the Health and Human Services Department by 16 states and the District of Columbia.  The plaintiffs argue that pulling such money violates the separation of powers and federal law.  HHS has issued a statement saying that it is “committed to the president’s mission of removing radical gender ideology from federal programs.”  Mr. Trump has vowed not to force taxpayers to promote the LGBT agenda.
