Trump HHS Renews Planned Parenthood Grants for 'Final Year' Due to Legalities, But 'Funds CANNOT Be Used for Abortions'"The administration has issued the fifth and final year of Title X grants that were locked in place during the Biden presidency.

Desai added that "Title X funds cannot be used for abortions by law and, consistent with President Trump's Executive Order on Enforcing the Hyde Amendment, the Administration remains committed to realigning the Title X program with the President's pro-life and pro-family agenda going forward," with the next renewal of Title X's five-year funding cycle presenting an opportunity to assert different priorities and restrictions than the Biden administration's...
