If a new proposed federal rule is finalized after a public
comment period ending July 31, pro-life medical
professionals and programs finally will be able to take advantage of family
planning grants opportunities.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has proposed a new
federal family planning rule
to govern federal family planning (Title X) funds. Your supportive comments by July
31 can help make sure this proposed rule is finalized and becomes reality.
Meanwhile, the Christian Medical Association is joining with other
national pro-life organizations to prepare training resources that can help you
apply for a federal family planning grant (more on that training to come…).
By voicing your support
now for this new rule, you also can help protect
conscience freedom in healthcare. The new rule removes abortion participation
requirements and enforces federal conscience law.

Breaking up the abortion industry's monopoly on federal family planning
funds
For years, the abortion industry and its political allies in power have held a tight monopoly on federal family planning funds, through exclusionary and coercive rules. Until now, conscience-driven pro-life medical professionals and programs have been unable to access federal family planning (Title X) funds--because of coercive regulatory requirements to refer patients for abortions.
This anti-conscience rule in family planning regulations does not
accord with federal conscience law. The exclusionary discrimination has prevented
excellent health programs—for example, faith-based community health centers--from
partnering with the federal government in family planning programs.
Instead of allowing a wide breadth of health programs to compete
in the federal grants process--with the very best qualified programs winning grant
awards--the exclusionary old rule essentially limits grantees to pro-abortion
programs. Patient care and choice suffers as a result of this monopoly.
The exclusionary provisions in the old rule were carefully
crafted, of course, to reflect the pro-abortion ideology of the previous
administration and to financially reward political allies like Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood is a
billion-dollar industry that every year rakes in half
a billion tax dollars and performs nearly a third of a million
abortions. The abortion conglomerate then turns around and spends millions
every year to elect pro-abortion candidates. Those elected officials and their
appointed bureaucrats in turn make laws and rules that shovel more federal
funds back into the abortion industry.

The new rule aims to protect patients, conscience and life-affirming healthcare
Thankfully, a new day is dawning in federal government family
planning programs and grants requirements.
The old coercive rules that for so long have shut out pro-life
healthcare--while funneling millions to the abortion industry—appear bound for
the trash heap. The new rule, if finalized, will replace the old rule.
But remember: Whether or not finalization of the new rule actually
happens depends in part on public comments received by July 31. Comments from health professionals can
be especially effective and influential.
The new rule promises to respect the conscience freedoms of health professionals and programs. It also opens
the door to new grants partnerships with
a much wider variety of medical programs--including those that offer natural
family planning and sexual risk avoidance (abstinence) programs.
The result of greater diversity in family planning providers and
programs will enhance patient care
with more diverse, comprehensive and holistic health offerings.
The new rule will especially benefit:
· Patients seeking family planning
services from health professionals and organizations with life-affirming
values.
· Taxpayers who do not want their tax
dollars to fund the abortion industry.
· Health professionals and
organizations who could use federal funding to help provide services of family
planning.
· Parents who want to be advised of
and participate in their children's healthcare, especially regarding family
planning.

The new rule aims to stop abuse
Meanwhile, the new rule also will help stop abuses by the
abortion industry and others who under the old rule may have:
· Used fungible federal funds to expand
their abortion operations and did not physically separate abortion
facilities and operations from Title X funds.
· Used federal funds to lobby for,
advocate for or routinely refer patients for abortion.
· Declined to ask patients about or report
suspected cases of abuse such as human trafficking, child
abuse, child molestation, sexual abuse, rape, incest or intimate partner
violence.
·
Not effectively involved parents and
families in the healthcare of minor children.
