Dear Friend,
President Trump and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is working to put a stop to taxpayers being forced to indirectly subsidize abortion—and they need your help!
I’ve written about how HHS proposed a new regulation for the Title X family planning program to ensure that taxpayer dollars stay out of the abortion industry.
Right now, regulations allow programs to receive Title X family planning funds—annually $286 million--even if they perform abortions or provide abortion referrals in the same location as their Title X activities.
While they can’t use federal dollars for abortion, we should not be subsidizing these organizations unless their abortion practices are completely separate from the federal family planning program.
The reason for this abortion subsidy is that President Clinton changed the Reagan regulations to allow abortions to be performed at the same location as the Title X family planning activities.
Worse yet, it mandates that all Title X funding recipients provide abortion referrals!
As a result, Title X has been pouring millions of dollars into the abortion industry for decades.
Planned Parenthood alone receives $60 million annually from the Title X program.
And pro-life organizations refusing to provide abortion referrals are disqualified from applying for Title X funds.
The proposed HHS rule seeks to change all that by once again requiring Title X recipients to conduct their family planning services at locations that do not perform abortions.
The rule would also remove the mandate for abortion referrals, allowing pro-life organizations to once again apply for funding.
This important effort deserves our full support! Please submit a comment HERE to let HHS know we support this rule change and their defense of the inalienable right to life.
Standing (Eph. 6:13),
