The Trump administration is following through on its promise to withhold funding from abortion provider Planned Parenthood.
The battle over taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood takes center stage at the Supreme Court in a South Carolina dispute over Medicaid providers.

Planned Parenthood put its seven-story, 43,365-square-foot building at 26 Bleecker Street in NoHo up for sale for $39 million, according to Planned Parenthood and Cushman & Wakefield (CWK), which is marketing the sale.
