The White House cited legal challenges for the controversial decision to continue the funding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe administration has issued the fifth and final year of Title X grants that were locked in place during the Biden presidency,\u201d the White House told EWTN News in a statement. \u201cThe administration faced significant legal challenges in stopping any of these dollars from going out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Previous Republican administrations, including that of Trump\u2019s first term, also banned abortion funding via Title X. What makes this year\u2019s criteria unique is that it encourages fertility education in place of contraception.<\/p>\n<p>The notice highlighted \u201cfertility-awareness-based methods\u201d or \u201cnatural family planning,\u201d a method encouraged by the Catholic Church that involves tracking a woman\u2019s biological markers to determine when ovulation occurs.<\/p>\n<p>The administration also teased a new pro-family grant that will be announced soon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHHS will soon be releasing a new Title X funding opportunity for the next five-year funding cycle that prioritizes life and promotes the pro-family agenda,\u201d the White House statement read.<\/p>\n<p>The notice also promoted \u201cbody literacy\u201d on fertility-related conditions, such as \u201ceducation on menstrual cycle physiology, hormonal health, male and female fertility awareness, and early indicators of reproductive disorders such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid dysfunction, metabolic disorders, and other conditions that often first emerge in adolescence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An estimated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/endometriosis\">1 in 10 <\/a>women have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefp.com\/p\/what-i-went-through-to-meet-my-daughter-ivf-fertility\">endometriosis<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/womenshealth.gov\/a-z-topics\/thyroid-disease\">1 in 8<\/a> women develop a thyroid disorder; and roughly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acog.org\/womens-health\/experts-and-stories\/the-latest\/5-things-you-need-to-know-about-pcos\">1 in 10<\/a> have PCOS \u2014 all conditions that can negatively affect fertility and overall health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, endometriosis often goes undiagnosed for years because symptoms such as severe menstrual pain or irregular bleeding are frequently normalized or minimized,\u201d the HHS notice read.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBody literacy counseling helps patients recognize that these experiences are not \u2018normal\u2019 features\u201d but instead \u201cpotential indicators of an underlying condition, prompting earlier discussion with providers, timely diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and improved long-term reproductive and overall health outcomes,\u201d the notice continued.<\/p>\n<p>The 2027 plan is not prioritizing contraception funding; instead the government said that contraception is part of an overreliance on \u201cpharmaceutical and surgical treatments.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The health department noted that fewer women than in previous years are using contraception (54% of reproductive-age women) and that \u201cthe most common reason women reported discontinuing use related to dissatisfaction was side effects.\u201d For instance, hormonal contraception <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC9218393\/\">can cause depression<\/a> in some patients, among other negative side effects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis approach has failed to adequately address the root causes of the nation\u2019s chronic disease burden, resulting in ongoing health challenges that affect fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and long-term health outcomes,\u201d the notice read.<\/p>\n<p>HHS said it will focus instead on \u201cunderlying behavioral and lifestyle factors of health \u2014 such as nutrition, sleep, physical activity, stress management, and environmental factors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The White House told EWTN News that \u201cthe administration remains committed to realigning the Title X program with the president\u2019s pro-life and pro-family agenda going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michael New, an assistant professor of practice at the Busch School of Business at The Catholic University of America as well as a Charlotte Lozier Institute senior associate scholar, called the decrease in Planned Parenthood funding \u201ca win for the pro-life movement,\u201d though with a caveat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCutting funding to Planned Parenthood may not have a large impact on the incidence of abortion in the short term due the increasing prevalence of telehealth abortions,\u201d New said.<\/p>\n<p>The professor also noted that \u201cdefunding contraception programs and supporting natural family planning is a win for pro-lifers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince the Title X program started in 1970, the federal government has spent hundreds of millions of dollars, if not billions of dollars, into promoting contraception,\u201d New said. \u201cThis money has been poorly spent. Many places that distribute contraception also perform abortions, so some of this money indirectly funds abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany Catholics do not want their tax dollars spent on programs, such as contraception programs, they find morally objectionable,\u201d New continued. \u201cEven though many Americans support contraceptive use, pro-life Catholics would like the government to stay out of the issue: no funding, no mandates, no distribution. As such, defunding contraception programs has been a longtime policy goal for many pro-life Catholics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u200b\u200bNatural family planning, when done correctly, has a strong track record of success,\u201d New said. \u201cHowever, it has been marginalized in many secular public health circles. The fact that HHS is promoting natural family planning will give NFP more visibility and credibility.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New 2027 guidelines by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will ban key federal abortion funding while favoring fertility education and natural family planning.
