Planned Parenthood announced that the Trump administration will cut federal funding under Title X, which supports family planning and health services for low-income populations. This move will affect birth control access and cancer screenings, potentially leading to negative health outcomes. The Department of Health and Human Services is withholding $27.5 million while investigating possible violations of grant terms and laws. Planned Parenthood warns that these cuts could lead to undetected cancers and increased sexually transmitted infections, highlighting the broader implications of such political decisions on public health.
"HHS is conducting this evaluation to ensure these entities are in full compliance with Federal law and applicable grant terms, and to ensure responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars."
"President Trump and Elon Musk are pushing their dangerous political agenda, stripping health care access from people nationwide, and not giving a second thought to the devastation they will cause."
