Title X has historically awarded $286 million every year to family planning and healthcare providers for the care of low-income patients.
Planned Parenthood will no longer receive funding from the federal government following changes by the Trump administration to Title X, the only U.S. federal grant program dedicated to supporting family planning services.
Across the country, Title X recipients were faced with a choice: continue facilitating access to abortions or lose federal dollars. Planned Parenthood chose the latter, forgoing an estimated $60 million in annual funding, according to The Guardian. Given that federal funds were never used for abortions, loss of Title X support cuts directly into the money available to provide birth control, STI testing, cancer screenings, pap smears, and other healthcare services.
People of color, who make up 35% of Planned Parenthood’s clientele constitute another at-risk demographic following changes to Title X. “Many people of color in the United States have less access to health coverage due to the legacies of racism, sexism, classism, xenophobia, and other systemic barriers,” writes Planned Parenthood. “As a consequence, people of color disproportionately rely on federal programs to access health care.
The effects of Planned Parenthood opting out of federal funds will vary from state to state. “Hawaii, Illinois, New York, Oregon and Washington have said their states would not participate in Title X under the new rule,” according to the New York Times. In some states, Planned Parenthood is expecting local government to make up for some of the loss in funds. Some states can depend on no outside intervention and are relying on donations and “emergency funds” to stay afloat.
