The Trump administration in Feb. handed down a new rule to the Department of Health and Human Services’s Title X program, which provides federal funding for affordable contraception, pregnancy tests, and STI and cancer screenings to low-income women. 1/3
has been a longtime passion project for Donald Trump and Mike Pence, and earlier this year they came up with a creative new way to deprive women of their health care and reproductive freedom.
On Monday, while continuing to challenge the restriction in courts, Planned Parenthood said it would no longer accept Title X funding—an estimated $60 million a year—if it means complying with the gag on how it can talk to the women it serves.
. Tellingly it’s not just Planned Parenthood but also the American Medical Association and many other organizations fighting the rule, saying it limits doctors from having necessary discussions with patients about their health., McGill Johnson “accused the administration of forcing Planned Parenthood out of the Title X program”—and given the Trump-Pence track record, she’s very likely right that this is the administration’s way of backing the organization into a corner.
. Now at the helm of the federal government, they continue their dark arts to the detriment of low-income women, including many women of color, who benefit from Title X. In some rural communities, thenotes, Planned Parenthood is the only provider of such services. The risk to those women’s health was deemed worth it by the administration, so long as it got to beam yet another anti-abortion bat signal.
In a maddening statement HHS said that groups who will not follow the new rule “are now blaming the government for their own actions” and even accused—read: Planned Parenthood—of “abandoning their obligations to serve their patients under the program.
