Breaking: Biden Admin Revokes Ban on Abortion Referrals from Federally Funded Clinics

The Biden administration has revoked a rule that barred health-care clinics that receive federal funding from providing referrals for abortions.

The Trump administration had previously barred federally funded clinics that provide family-planning services under the Title X program from issuing abortion referrals. The Department of Health and Human Services announced on Monday that it is reversing the Trump administration’s rule.

“This rule is a step forward for family planning care as it aims to strengthen and restore our nation's Title X program,” HHS secretary Xavier Becerra said in a press release. “Our nation's family planning clinics play a critical role in delivering health care, and today more than ever, we are making clear that access to quality family planning care includes accurate information and referrals—based on a patient's needs and direction.”

The new rule will go into effect on November 8, according to the release.
