A federal judge has blocked new Trump administration rules that would provide additional hurdles for women seeking abortions, including by banning taxpayer-funded clinics from making abortion referrals.
Washington state Atty. Gen. Bob Ferguson speaks at a Seattle news conference announcing a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's Title X"gag rule" on Feb. 25. that would provide additional hurdles for women seeking abortions, including by banning taxpayer-funded clinics from making abortion referrals.
Title X is a 1970 law designed to improve access to family-planning services, especially for low-income women and those in rural areas, but abortion opponents and religious conservatives say it has long been used to indirectly subsidize abortion providers.Abortion is a legal medical procedure, but federal laws prohibit the use of Title X or other taxpayer funds to pay for abortions except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the woman.
“All over the country, there are Title X providers looking at their patient schedules and wondering what they were going to do,” said Clare Coleman, president of the National Family Planning & Reproductive Health Assn., which sued. “Now we know that everyone can continue to do their care as they have been doing for the past 50 years.”
Though the new rules would permit clinic staff to discuss abortion with clients, they would no longer be required to do so. If patients ask for an abortion referral, staff would be required to give a list of primary-care providers with no indication as to which provide abortions.
