WASHINGTON (CN) Moving methodically, the Biden administration took its first steps Wednesday to bring Planned Parenthood back into the fold of the federal government’s $286 million family-planning program.
The largest single provider of abortion services in the country had quit the nearly 50-year-old Title X program in 2019 to protest what was then a newly implemented rule prohibiting any clinic that gets Title X from referring women for abortions.
Though federal law forbids the distribution of family-planning funding to abortion providers, Planned Parenthood nevertheless received about $60 million per year in federal funds to provide some 1.6 million Title X patients with reproductive care including birth control and screening for sexually transmitted diseases.
