Biden Reverses Trump-Era Domestic Gag Rule on Title X Family Planning Clinics
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Biden administration has reversed a Trump-era ban that blocked
federally funded family planning clinics from referring patients for
abortions or even mentioning abortion as an option. The so-called
domestic gag rule had threatened healthcare for millions who rely on
Title X health centers for primary and preventive care. Planned
Parenthood President Alexis Mc Gill Johnson said the lifting of the
Trump rule was "a huge victory for patients and a huge victory for
sexual and reproductive health care." Click here to see our full
interview with Alexis Mc Gill Johnson.
