Trump administration adds proposal to involve more parents in minors' abortion, birth control choices

The Trump administration announced a proposal Tuesday that would require certain clinics to “encourage” minors to receive parent consent when they are seeking abortions or birth control.

The proposal is part of a broader change to a grant program that provides testing, birth control and screenings for 4 million low-income people, known as Title X. Much of the plan, which had previously been disclosed, centers on cutting off funds to medical facilities that also perform abortions and removing a requirement that doctors refer patients to abortion doctors when they seek them.
