Summary
Title X, a decades-old federal program providing contraception and reproductive healthcare to millions without insurance, is facing a major overhaul. New guidelines from HHS pivot the program toward “family formation” and “healthy pregnancies,” promoting less effective fertility awareness methods and even male fertility counseling — sparking outrage among health experts who fear low-income and minority women will be hardest hit. Critics warn the changes won’t boost birth rates and may undermine access to essential services, while aligning with conservative Project 2025 goals. Clinics must reapply by January 2027 under these new rules — sparking a national debate over reproductive justice and family support.
