A new proposal which would send $260 million in grants for family planning to health organizations specifically stipulates that “none of the funds appropriated under this title shall be used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning.”
“The funding opportunity will assist in the establishment and/or operation of voluntary family planning projects that will offer a broad range of family planning methods and services, including information, education and counseling related to family planning, preconception care, contraception, natural family planning and infertility services,” the Department of Health and Human Services said in a statement (https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2018/02/23/hhs-announces-availability-260-million-fund-title-x-family-planning-program.html).
The program also stipulates that “grantees develop monitoring and reporting policies, consistent with state law, in order to expand assurances that those who enter a Title X (family planning) service site and who may be victims of child abuse, child molestation, sexual abuse, rape, incest, intimate partner violence or human trafficking, are afforded the help and legal protection to which they are entitled.”
“We encourage all qualified organizations to apply, especially those proposing innovative strategies that would increase the number of clients served and the quality of services provided,” Assistant Secretary for Health Brett P. Giroir, M.D., said in the statement.
“We are committed to ensuring that we provide access to quality family planning services to the women and men who depend on this vital public health program.”
The language of the grant details are pretty clear on the abortion prohibition; no less than four times is it mentioned that organizations that provide termination will not be eligible for the grants. (Now, granted, it’s a 66-page document (https://www.grantsolutions.gov/gs/preaward/previewPublicAnnouncement.do?id=61595), but still — that’s not an unimpressive number of reiterations.)
