Trump changes pregnancy-prevention program to promote childbearing
The Trump administration is shifting the federal Title X program, which provides reproductive health services, to prioritize promoting childbearing and family formation over contraception access. New guidelines emphasize natural pregnancy prevention methods, fertility education, and aligning with efforts to boost the U.S. birth rate, while prohibiting DEI initiatives and linking funding to immigration restrictions. Critics argue the changes will disproportionately harm low-income and minority women.
