Contraception access is supported across political lines, yet the Trump administration is reducing availability by withholding Title X funding. Title X, established in 1970 to provide free contraceptives to low-income individuals, was a response to health concerns for mothers and babies. A lawsuit involving 15 public health organizations claims the administration's actions jeopardize services for over 800,000 individuals. One plaintiff, Bridgercare in Montana, faced sudden funding suspension based on claims of Civil Rights Act violations, which has raised concerns about the implications for reproductive health clinics.
"It is my view that no American woman should be denied access to family planning assistance, because of her economic condition."
"A group of 15 public health organizations is suing the Trump administration, arguing that the federal government jeopardized access to services including birth control for more than 800,000 people due to illegal withholding of Title X dollars."
