Planned Parenthood is opting out of receiving federal Title X funds in order to avoid complying with the Trump administration's 'gag rule.'
says more than four million people rely on Title X annually — and since 1970, the funding has provided “affordable birth control and reproductive health care to people with low incomes, who couldn’t otherwise afford health care services on their own.” The funding provided for a number of services aside from abortion care such as: wellness exams, cancer screenings, birth control, and STD testing.
Planned Parenthood’s decision is the latest in an ongoing battle between those who support reproductive rights and those who don’t, with Republicans advocating to eliminate all federal funding for abortion providers. The Trump administration required organizations receiving Title X funding to explain how they would comply with the “gag rule” and Planned Parenthood’s choice was to skip the funding altogether if it meant giving incomplete care to their patients.
By reverberate, she means the wait for receiving services will be longer for patients and costs will go up. In a letter to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit last week, Planned Parenthood expressed hope to remain in Title X but not receive funds during litigation, but now, DHHS has informed grantees that theythe program if they could not show “good-faith efforts” to comply with the gag rule. The organization expressed “deep regret” but says they “now have no option but to withdraw from the Title X program.
The Trump administration maintains that the policy will ensure that taxpayers are not indirectly funding abortions. As the administration is regularly proving to be fact-allergic, it should surprise no one to hear that the Title X program already stops participants from using the federal funding toward abortions.
