<\/div>

In May of 2018, the Trump administration instituted a controversial rule change which required any entity receiving Title X family planning funding to separate its abortion-related services from family planning services both fiscally and physically. Planned Parenthood chose to walk away from the program instead, giving up approximately $60 million in funding. This week, the Biden-Harris administration released its proposed change<\/a> to the rule (with a time for comments to be filed<\/a> regarding the rule change), which would rescind all pro-life changes made by the Trump administration. <\/span><\/p>\n

In reference to this, EWTN\u2019s Owen Jensen questioned White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki about the Biden administration’s efforts on multiple fronts (including Title X and the Hyde Amendment) to force taxpayers to fund abortion, asking, \u201dWhy does the Biden Administration insist that pro-life Americans pay for abortions and violate their conscience?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
