On July 28, Democracy Forward, on behalf of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for attacking Title X funding applications. It comes as the Department for Health and Human Services, or HHS, announced that as of 2027, Title X funding would favor fertility tracking over contraceptives, counsel patients about “marriage prior to childbearing,” respect “biological reality” around sex and gender, and a slew of other funding considerations that undermine Title X’s science-backed mandate to provide accessible reproductive healthcare.
The language deployed by the HHS reflects a new wave of anti-abortion rhetoric that converges with the Make America Healthy Again, or MAHA, camp to increasingly demonize hormonal birth control and reproductive healthcare as “unnatural” and a symbol of moral bankruptcy. As Planned Parenthood is in its fifth year of Title X’s five-year funding cycle, the funding shift puts millions of Americans at risk.
