Planned Parenthood said it will withdraw from the Title X program that helps low-income people access contraception rather than comply with what it calls a new “gag rule” that prohibits it from providing abortion referrals to those patients.
Planned Parenthood said Monday it will withdraw from the federal Title X program that helps low-income people access contraception rather than comply with what it calls a new Trump administration “gag rule” that prohibits it from providing abortion referrals to those patients.
The Trump administration has “forced Planned Parenthood grantees out of Title X,” McGill Johnson said. “We at Planned Parenthood will refuse to cower to the Trump-Pence administration.”McGill Johnson promised that Planned Parenthood’s doors will remain open and that it will continue to provide contraception services, relying on “emergency” funding in the case of Title X patients.
The decision by Planned Parenthood -- which gets about $60 million in funding and is the program’s largest grantee -- is the latest in a years-long battle between abortion rights supporters and Republicans, who have advocated to eliminate all federal funding for abortion providers and to “defund” Planned Parenthood.The Trump administration’s new policy could have an effect on all 4,000 of the country’s Title X-funded facilities.
The policy does not prevent healthcare providers from mentioning abortion, but it prevents them from making a referral or telling patients where they could get one. Planned Parenthood and the American Medical Assn., which is also suing the administration over the policy, call it a “gag rule” because it interferes in a doctor’s relationship with the patient and his or her ability to provide the care they think is best.
