Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti has filed a formal complaint against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, challenging the termination of its Title X funding.

“This case involves the federal government’s latest effort to coerce States into carrying out pro-abortion policy in violation of statutory, constitutional, and administrative-law limits,” the beginning of the complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, reads.
