...they merely redirected funds and resources formerly given to non-compliant groups to those that accepted the provisions. The second has some footing. When the policy came into force some major reproductive health providers, particularly some affiliates of the International Planned Parenthood Federation refused to participate, although 44 ultimately chose to. This intransigence, however, was entirely self-imposed and absurdly doctrinaire—after all, the federation does claim to advocate for a universal right to abortion on demand from puberty onward.
