Women's health care is on the edge of a precipice with the replacement for the Affordable Care Act, and also with a proposition from the White House that would preserve funding for Planned Parenthood — provided the group gives up on providing abortion care altogether.

The New York Times reports the White House has proposed allowing the group to continue to receive federal funding as long as it ceases to provide abortions.

The move comes as the administration tries to walk along that edge and satisfy conservative Republicans while appearing to preserve women's health care options.

Planned Parenthood has already refused the offer. And Republicans' intended replacement for the ACA already includes a provision to strip all federal funding from Planned Parenthood.

But that's not the only thing that has women worried; a Huffington Post report reveals women are so afraid of being cut off from birth control that they are stockpiling pills and opting for longer-lasting methods of contraception.

Trump, who used to support legal abortions, changed direction in 2011 and announced that he opposed abortion rights. He can't stray too far from that stance now without risking the loss of his conservative base.

And the battle over abortion and even contraception is growing more heated. Health and Human Services secretary Tom Price has said federal funding for birth control is unnecessary and that providing it violates religious freedoms, and he is now in a position to delete it from the ACA's preventive care list.

In addition, Republicans have proposed changes to Medicaid, according to the Huffington Post, that would limit the amount of federal money sent to each state — and that could mean states would lower reimbursement rates for contraception and many women would lose Medicaid coverage altogether.

So women are stocking up and preparing for the siege. Across the country, family planning clinics are being hit with soaring demand for contraceptive services — in particular long-acting IUDs and implants.

In Indiana, appointments for long-acting birth control methods have jumped by more than 50 percent compared to last year, according to Kristin Adams, CEO of the Indiana Family Health Council, which oversees federal and state funding for family planning clinics in the state.

Adams is quoted in the report saying, "We're hearing some patients who have a long-acting device that's good for only three years tell us to rip it out and put in the 10-year plan. It's a sad state of affairs that women have to put off childbearing for 10 years because they're afraid of losing their insurance."

Some lawmakers are taking action, too, with legislators in several states proposing laws to require all insurers, including Medicaid, to pay for contraceptive services without copays and without delays. Other policies also seek to expand women's access to contraception.

The report tells of new bills in more than a dozen states aimed at allowing women to stockpile a year's worth of birth control pills with a single pharmacy visit, to lessen the probability that they'll run out and have to cease taking them because they can't pay for them.

Other bills would also allow pharmacists to prescribe pills and other forms of hormonal birth control without requiring the delay and cost of a doctor's visit.
