Addition made in memory of #RFKJr with card to be sent to him at #HHS
The WSJ reported last week #RFKJr’s #HHS planned an immediate freeze of $27.5M in #FamilyPlanning grants for groups including #PlannedParenthood.
PPFA says >300 #health centers are in the #TitleX network & Title X-funded centers received >1.5M visits in 2023.
The loss of funding will mean that “cancers go undetected, access to #BirthControl is severely reduced, & the nation’s #STI crisis worsens,” said Alexis McGill Johnson, PPFA president.
#Trump admin to cut funds to #PlannedParenthood
The #nonprofit said that 9 of its affiliates received notice that funding would be withheld under a program known as #TitleX, which has supported #healthcare services for the #poor since 1970.
