Biden rolls back Trump’s anti-abortion curbs on family planning funds
The proposed overhaul erases restrictions on abortion providers that Democrats derided as a "gag rule."

The Biden administration on Wednesday moved to unwind former President Donald Trump’s anti-abortion restrictions on federal family planning funds.
New rules proposed Wednesday would largely return the Title X program to its pre-Trump formation, allowing more abortion clinics to participate in a program that provides free or subsidized contraception and other health services to about 4 million low-income Americans each year.
