Washington • The Trump administration is preparing to announce Friday a far-reaching change in how Title X family-planning funds may be distributed. The move would make clinics that provide abortion services or referrals ineligible for the federal funding, a change that would defund Planned Parenthood by millions of dollars.
Under the proposal to be filed by the Department of Health and Human Services, the $260 million program would require a “bright line” of physical and financial separation between Title X services and providers that perform or support abortion services or refer to abortion as a method of family planning.
