| Dear Friend, Formerly free services now cost $200 a visit. Boxes of birth control can't be given out. Staff are going from full-time to part-time, causing long delays in appointments. This is what's happening under Trump's family-planning gag rule, which has resulted in Planned Parenthood losing $60 million in federal Title X funds.(1) Congress can override Trump’s disastrous gag rule, and we're demanding that they act now -- because every day that Planned Parenthood goes without Title X funds, women suffer. Trump's gag rule prohibits Title X family-planning funds from going to any clinic that helps women find safe and legal abortion care. But rather than agree to conceal necessary health-care information from women, Planned Parenthood left the Title X program. And while some states have filled the gap left by the funding shortfall, others have not.(2) That has left family-planning providers around the country struggling to meet demand. Planned Parenthood clinics saw 1.6 million patients under Title X, and Trump’s gag rule targeted the organization directly. We're already seeing the real-world consequences of his damaging rule. Courage Campaign is pushing every California Republican to join Democrats to overrule the family-planning gag rule. Will you donate? Yes, I’ll donate to stand with Planned Parenthood and fight Trump's family-planning gag rule. Yours in the fight for our reproductive rights, Caitlin, along with Analeeza, Annie, Brenna, Diego, Eddie, Gabby, Lindsay, Mai, Mary, Molly, Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage team) Footnotes:  |
