Trump officials to cut Planned Parenthood family planning funds

Reuters
Tue 1 Apr 2025 02.34 BST

The reproductive health provider Planned Parenthood said the Trump administration would cut federal family planning funding as of Tuesday, affecting birth control, cancer screenings and other services for low-income people.

Planned Parenthood said that nine of its affiliates received notice that funding would be withheld under a program known as Title X, which has supported healthcare services for the poor since 1970.

The Wall Street Journal reported last week the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) planned an immediate freeze of $27.5m in family planning grants for groups including Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood says more than 300 health centers are in the Title X network and Title X-funded centers received more than 1.5m visits in 2023. It did not say how much funding would be halted by the Trump administration.

Democrats are the minority in the House and Congress and do not have the votes to pass anything.

It is a crime to save the lives of dying pregnant women.
