Twenty-one states are suing the Trump administration to block a new rule issued last month which bars abortion providers or groups that refer patients for abortions from federal funds known as Title X. Planned Parenthood would be one of the main groups affected by the new gag rule. Title X covers non-abortion services like STD prevention, cancer screenings and contraception, and provides over $280 million in funding for 4 million mostly low-income women every year. If implemented, the funds would be redirected toward faith-based clinics.
