The House passed a bill allowing the president to revoke nonprofits' tax-exempt status if deemed terrorist-supporting, which critics, including Planned Parenthood and the ACLU, argue could threaten healthcare services like cancer screenings, birth control, STI testing, abortion care, and gender-affirming care; as the bill moves to the Senate, Planned Parenthood warns of potential funding cuts affecting public healthcare.

The ACLU and reproductive rights groups like Planned Parenthood of America vocally opposed the bill and tried to warn lawmakers of the dangers.

For those wishing to know more. Section 4 applies the standard that is found in 18 USC § 2339B

Whoever knowingly provides material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization, or attempts or conspires to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both, and, if the death of any person results, shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for life. To violate this paragraph, a person must have knowledge that the organization is a designated terrorist organization (as defined in subsection (g)(6)), that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorist activity (as defined in section 212(a)(3)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act), or that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorism (as defined in section 140(d)(2) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989).

Who that applies to I leave to the reader, but that's the standard that would be argued in Court over any determination that the President gave to any entity.
