Biden Admin. to Reverse Trump, Restore Millions in Funding to Planned Parenthood
(Worthy News) – The Biden administration announced late last week its intent to overturn a Trump-era rule that prevents certain federal funds from going to groups such as Planned Parenthood that promote or perform abortions.
At issue are funds for Title X, a federal family-planning program for low-income patients. The Trump administration’s rule prevents Title X money from going to family-planning clinics that “perform, promote, refer for, or support abortion as a method of family planning.” It also requires recipients to financially and physically separate their abortion services from their non-abortion services.
On Thursday, the Department of Health & Human Services announced plans to “propose revised regulations substantively similar to those issued in 2000” under the Clinton administration. Those rules, HHS said, “operated successfully for years, with a few definitional updates that account for minor operational changes over the past 20 years.” [ Source: Christian Headlines (Read More…) ]
