老澳门开奖结果 Response to Ninth Circuit Ruling on Title X Family Planning Program
SAN FRANCISCO 鈥 The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Trump administration policy that is destroying the Title X family planning program.
The rule prohibits family planning clinics 鈥 which previously served as the source of health care for more than four million low-income people every year 鈥 from providing Title X patients with referrals for abortion care and imposes other onerous requirements that have resulted in the widespread loss of critical Title X providers.
The Eastern District of Washington had preliminarily blocked the Trump administration鈥檚 rules, but the Ninth Circuit overturned that decision and issued a ruling on the merits.
鈥淲e are deeply disappointed that today鈥檚 decision allows the Trump administration to once again make it harder and harder for people to get the health care they need, including family planning care,鈥 said Ruth Harlow, senior staff attorney at the 老澳门开奖结果 Reproductive Freedom Project, who argued the case before the Ninth Circuit. 鈥淲e are looking at any further options to rescue the Title X program and to restore the critical care it has provided to marginalized patients for almost five decades.鈥
The 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 lawsuit was brought on behalf of the National Family Planning & Reproductive Health Association and Cedar River Clinics.
