Guys, what is the Trump administration doing here?
Absolutely outrageous if true:
Not so quiet anymore!
The American Civil Liberties Union on Monday dropped its lawsuit against the Trump administration over tens of millions in Title X family planning funds that federal officials had withheld from Planned Parenthood and some other health clinics since last spring, after HHS quietly released the money in December.
Though the Trump administration is still defending in court far bigger federal cuts to Planned Parenthood that Congress approved last summer, the release of the Title X funds gives the clinics a crucial lifeline. It is also likely to inflame existing tensions between the administration and anti-abortion conservatives who will rally in Washington later this month for the annual March for Life.
Politico also notes that the clinics which shut down after the Title X funds were withheld are likely to stay shut down.
But why is HHS throwing a "lifeline" to the baby killer organization at all?
HHS vowed to investigate whether the 16 grantees that collectively ran more than 800 clinics deployed 'widespread practices across hiring, operations, and patient treatment that unavoidably employ race in a negative manner,' or ran programs in a way that 'overtly encourages illegal aliens to receive care,' which they deemed 'taxpayer subsidization of open borders.' ...
Then, in a court filing on Dec. 19, shared with POLITICO, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro told the court 'the review is completed, and all grants at issue for Plaintiff's members have been restored.' She provided no further details, but asked the challengers to consider whether 'this matter can be voluntarily dismissed in light of the restoration of the remaining grants.'
Judge Jeannine, nooooo!
Umm ... the "open borders" promotion that there was no way for the Trump admin to prove isn't the main reason to defund Planned Parenthood.
And it looks like that pretext was pretty thin.

On the pro-life front, we've been dealing with a mixed bag this past year...
