Ninth Circuit Upholds Trump Admin Rule Stripping Funding for Abortions
 [LI] The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, a court known for its liberal leanings, ruled today that President Donald Trump’s administration can withdraw Title X funding from clinics associated with abortions.President Richard Nixon enacted Title X in 1970, which "is a federal program that funds family planning services for low-income and uninsured people." In 1988, Title X received regulations that stopped funding "programs that merely provided counseling or referrals for abortions for family-planning purposes." The Supreme Court upheld that rule in 1991. The regulations on Title X relaxed by 2000 until 2019 when "the Department of Health and Human Services adopted regulations similar to the 1988 rule ‐ withdrawing funding from any medical facility that provides abortions, abortion counseling or abortion referrals."
