Reproductive rights groups criticize Title X changes
Reproductive rights groups and Democratic lawmakers are fiercely criticizing the Trump administration's proposed changes to Title X, the federal family planning program that provides birth control, STD prevention, and cancer screenings to millions of low-income people across the country. The rule — first proposed last year and released in its final draft form on Friday — would make any facility that provides or refers patients for abortions ineligible for Title X funding.
"This rule puts politics in the exam room, takes away critical health care and hurts the most vulnerable among us," Debra Ness, president of the National Partnership for Women & Families, said in a statement. Anti-abortion groups have lauded the rule as a clear separation between any type of abortion services and federal funding. The regulation would likely take effect 60 days after it's published in the Federal Register, but reproductive rights groups are expected to fight it in court.
