DeLauro Statement on Trump Administration’s Title X Gag Rule

February 22, 2019

WASHINGTON, DC (February 22, 2019) Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) today released the following statement after the Trump administration finalized rule changes for the Title X Family Planning Program.

"Today, the Trump-Pence administration continued its ideological assault on family planning services, including abortion and contraception. We must trust women to make choices that are best for them and their families, as well as their providers for medically accurate information. Title X is a critical program that helps do that by upholding women's health. Changing the rules that govern this program will harm millions of people across the country—including the nearly 45,000 in Connecticut who rely on it. I am committed to fighting the implementation of this rule."
