Life & Work
Women who rely on Title X-funded clinics for reproductive healthcare could lose access to nearby providers if those clinics also perform abortions and choose to stop accepting Title X funds rather than stop offering abortions. Title X serves about 4 million people a year, many of them low-income women who depend on these clinics for prenatal care, contraception, and health screenings. A significant disruption in that network could leave gaps in care, especially in rural areas.
“The Secretary shall not provide any assistance under this title to an entity unless the entity certifies that, during the period of such assistance, the entity will not perform, and will not provide any funds to any other entity that performs, an abortion.”
