Last night the Trump Administration released a proposed rule that would drastically restrict access to critical health services including preventative care, comprehensive family planning, and reproductive health services by blocking federal Title X funding to any organization that provides abortions – most notably, Planned Parenthood – or refers patients to places that do. Young adults, including women, communities of color, low-income individuals, and the uninsured, rely on Title X providers for affordable access to necessary health care services like cancer screenings, well-women exams, and birth control.
“The Administration, in its ongoing crusade against health care and against women, has proposed a policy that would devastate the Title X network of health care providers. If implemented, this rule would jeopardize the health of young adults and the millions of low-income and otherwise underserved individuals that rely on their services. This is yet another backdoor attempt to restrict access to necessary health care and a demonstration of how determined the Trump Administration is to dismantle our health care system, deny access to services, and prevent people in our country from getting the care they need.”
