‘Political’ Trump admin rule puts reproductive health care for 160K Pa. patients at risk, lawsuit says

A new lawsuit claims that a Trump administration rule could jeopardize federal funding for organizations that provide reproductive health care to around 160,000 Pennsylvanians. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services added a controversial policy to grant applications, which now requires applicants to affirm they don't perform or promote abortion. This move threatens to delay or deny funding to family planning and health organizations, sparking concerns about access to essential services. The lawsuit underscores the broader implications for reproductive health care accessibility amid ongoing political debates.
