As a second Trump administration approaches, we’re running out of time to confirm as many federal judges as possible to provide a check on his presidential power and curb his stated policy priorities.
There are 42 federal judicial vacancies and 13 nominations before the Senate right now—as our civil rights hang in the balance, take action now!
(Washington, D.C) Today, the Trump-Pence Administration is expected to announce damaging restrictions on the Title X family planning program, limiting Title X-funded health centers from referring patients for abortion care or providing that care with non-Title X funds. Title X-funded health centers provide care to over four million people each year and are an essential resource for low-income women and women of color.
The following is a statement by Fatima Goss Graves, President and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center:
“It’s extremely disturbing that the Administration plans to restrict Title X-funded family planning providers.
Everyone deserves quality health care, which includes receiving information about all options if they are pregnant. Women who receive care from Title X-funded clinics rely on it—with a majority considering it their usual source of care. That care is now threatened by this Administration. The National Women’s Law Center stands with Title X family planning providers and their patients and we will fight with them to stop this dangerous proposal.”
