“The Biden-Harris administration’s Title X rule finally went into effect in November 2021, restoring the crucial reproductive health care program to its previous state. The Biden-Harris regulations set the rules for today’s Title X program and outstanding grant applications moving forward. We have reviewed the rule, and this is what you need to know.
For more than 50 years, Title X has served as the nation’s family planning program, supporting a network of grantees providing high-quality sexual and reproductive health care to millions of people coast to coast, with a mandate to serve primarily low-income and adolescent patients. Despite this successful track record, the Title X network has weathered years of politically motivated attacks, the most recent and damaging being the Trump-Pence administration’s “domestic gag rule,” which went into effect in 2019 and hamstrung the family planning network.
The Trump-Pence rule imposed ideologically driven restrictions and requirements on care, causing many providers to leave the network rather than comply. In early 2020, Guttmacher estimated that the Trump-Pence rule would essentially cut the network’s patient capacity in half. Recent data from the Office of Population Affairs (OPA), the division of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that administers the Title X program, paint an even more devastating picture: The number of clients served by the Title X program dropped to 1.5 million in 2020, when it had served more than four million patients in recent years, a precipitous 61% decline.
OPA’s analysis disentangles the impact of the Trump-Pence regulations on Title X services versus the impact of the pandemic, attributing approximately one-third of the client decrease to the pandemic and a whopping two-thirds of the decrease to the Trump-Pence rule.”
I support Guttmacher (along with other not for profits) and if nothing else, their (free!) reporting stays outside the MSM fray.
