Protecting Family Planning Funding for Providers Not Offering Abortion Referrals.

This bill aims to protect organizations and states receiving federal family planning funds (Title X Program) from losing that financial support. The change ensures the government cannot require these entities to counsel or refer patients for abortions as a condition of receiving the money. For citizens, this means health providers who object to participating in abortion procedures can still offer other crucial services like contraception and preventative screenings.
Key points
Non-Discrimination Rule: The federal government is prohibited from withholding Title X funds from organizations that refuse to counsel or refer patients for abortions.
Maintaining Service Access: The change intends to ensure a wider variety of health facilities can continue providing family planning services, regardless of their stance on abortion.
