HHS Again Sending Millions to Abortion Orgs Through Title X

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) put out a press release at the end of March showing that the agency awarded hundreds of millions of dollars through the Title X family planning program.

This comes after the Trump administration's 2019 "Protect Life Rule" was officially ended by the Biden administration last fall.

Trump's Protect Life Rule prevented Title X grants from funding organizations that promote, commit or refer women for abortions. Without the rule, Title X can once again function as a funnel for taxpayer dollars to go to abortion businesses.

Of the $256.6 million awarded by the HHS in Fiscal Year 2022, over $14.5 million was given to Planned Parenthood in 12 states.

President Biden's proposed 2023 budget would increase Title X spending from $286.479 million to $400 million. One can reasonably assume that this would increase the number of tax dollars sent to pro-abortion organizations.
