For decades, U.S.
law has banned using federal dollars to fund abortions.
A provision in Trump's new tax and spending law goes farther than that.
It prohibits larger nonprofits from being reimbursed through Medicaid for any type of reproductive health service if that organization provides abortions.

Safar says the group will be referring people seeking abortions to out-of-state and independent clinics.

Madison Police Chief Sean Barnes says the first law enforcement officers arrived at the school on the east side of the city of Madison within four minutes of a second grader calling 911.
Police believe the shooting happened inside a study hall where there were students gathered from multiple grades. The two people killed by the shooter are a teacher and a teenage student.
Yes. So the shooter has been ID'd as 15-year-old Natalie Rupnow. Her first name was Natalie, but she went by Samantha. Police say she died of what's believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. And what do we know about the survivors? How are they doing? As of late Monday, police said at least two students were in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.
Other victims, including a teacher, suffered injuries that weren't life-threatening. One mother, Marae Jean Charles, has three boys who all go to school at Abundant Christian. And she was relieved that none of her sons were injured, but she also says she expects them to have emotional trauma for a long time.
When Jean Charles was reunited with her boys on Monday, she says she cried and prayed, but she also says thoughts and prayers aren't enough.
Right. So the biggest question, why? That's still unclear. Police say they're still trying to piece together a motive. Officers have recovered a handgun from the scene. Madison police say they're working with federal officials to trace the origins of the gun. The police chief said late Monday, it's not clear how exactly a 15-year-old got this gun. Officers have searched the shooter's home in...
Madison, they searched it on Monday, and police say the family of the shooter has been cooperative.
Yes. There's another news conference set for this afternoon, and Madison's police chief has warned people to be wary of rumors and misinformation on social media.
