The Trump administration has released a final ruling that prevents clinics that are referring women for abortions from receiving any federal family planning funds. The ruling, which was proposed in 2018, was made final on March 4, 2019. It bars Planned Parenthood and other providers offering abortions or referrals from obtaining funding under Title X, which allows access for free birth control for low-income earners.
