Federal appeals court upholds abortion referral ban at federally funded clinics


us court worthy christian news

(Worthy News) – A federal appeals court in San Francisco on Monday upheld a Trump administration revised rule banning federally funded family planning clinics from referring women for abortions.

Seven judges ruled in favor of upholding the 2019 rule with four dissenting on the 11-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Plaintiffs in the case against Secretary Alex Azar of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services included several states, Planned Parenthood and Essential Access Health.

HHS issued the revised rule last year banning family planning providers that receive Title X funding from abortion referrals. In response, Planned Parenthood, which says it serves 40 percent of the 4 million Title X patients in the United States, called it a “gag rule” and said in August of last year it has been in the Title X program for decades, but would have to leave the program because of the rule.
