ANOTHER OPINION

EDITORIAL A clarifying moment for Planned Parenthood

ast week, the Trump administration rightly affirmed that federal dollars should not be used for abortion. L Earlier this year the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services proposed a rule prohibiting abortions by providers that receive federal funding for family-planning services under Title X. The rule took effect last week. Thus, by March providers must physically separate abortion facilities from their other health care services, such as birth control or cancer screenings. They also are forbidden from co-mingling Title X funds with other revenue, nor can they refer women for abortions as a method of family planning — because Planned Parenthood’s clinics often directed Trump team getting patients to the organization’s other offices. It’s not a “gag rule,” as critics portray it. HHS says while referrals for abortion as a method of family planning are not in its own way permitted, pregnant women can be directed to such providers in emergency medical situations, and can be given a list of practitioners who perform abortions in offering comprehen- By Marc A.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL LEADING BY EXAMPLE Picks: Can Oregon boost Pac-12 vs. Auburn?

By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press

College football starts better than it ends. The sport has evolved through numerous postseason systems that have clumsily crowned champions, and while the Col- lege Football Playoff does a better job than its predecessors it has also spawned a month's worth of tedious debate over the importance of bowl games. The season still sort of peters out. When are the semifinals this year? How long do we have to wait until the championship game? The season begins with bang, though, an immersive five- day holiday weekend filled with games after everyone's appetite was whetted with something called Week 0. Admittedly, this opening weekend is light on marquee matchups. The only game with two ranked teams is No. 11 Oregon vs. No. 16 Auburn in Arlington, Texas. In this case quantity wins out over quality. Plus, doesn't it always seem like this type of schedule produces wacky results? On the down side, this is also the time of year for some pretty ridiculous mismatches. We'll mostly ignore them here and you should, too.
