Trump’s Title X policy is not a ‘gag rule’

Published



The Trump administration has long been attempting to reallocate Title X healthcare funding so abortion providers are no longer eligible. This move would strip Planned Parenthood of up to $60 million per year and give it to health centers that do not provide abortion.

Planned Parenthood and its leftist allies have repeatedly called this policy a “gag rule.” Planned Parenthood says on its website, “The gag rule is an attempt to take away women’s basic rights … It would make it impossible for patients in the program to get birth control at places like Planned Parenthood.” Additionally, in an article shared by Planned Parenthood’s acting president on Twitter earlier today, the organization’s vice president of public policy and government relations is quoted calling Trump’s policy “illegal.”
