HHS highlights work 'protecting human life,' 46 years after Roe v. Wade

Today marks the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the U.S. Ahead of the anniversary, HHS highlighted the Trump administration's "accomplishments in protecting human life." That includes proposed changes to the Title X family planning program that would prevent federal grants from going to facilities where abortion is also provided. HHS said it's looking forward to issuing the final version of that rule "promptly." On Friday, the agency's Office of Civil Rights also announced that California violated federal law when it passed legislation requiring so-called “crisis pregnancy centers” to post information about access to abortion and family planning services. The Supreme Court found the law unconstitutional last year.
