BANGKOK — International women’s health organization Planned Parenthood has established Thailand as the base for its efforts in the Asia-Pacific region.

Although in effect they are cutting funding this funding was not under Obamacare it was under a separate regulation. Trumpcare thus did not have a direct effect on PP and by not passing Trumpcare funding to PPA have not been restored.
