The Trump administration instated a “gag rule” which prohibits health care providers serving in Title X funded institutions from referring patients for abortion care except in cases of rape, incest or medical emergency. Basically, if a health center received Title X money from the government then it is against the law for them to give patients information about abortion.
While health care providers are being forced to withhold facts about abortion care, crisis pregnancy centers* (CPCs) around the country are legally allowed to lie and trick people seeking abortion care.
These provisions, combined with new language saying that Title X grantees are not required to provide every acceptable and effective method of family planning, means that patients are losing access to essential health care and information.
