A lawsuit filed October 25 asks a federal judge to block the Biden administration from reopening Title X "family planning funds" access to Planned Parenthood and other abortion organizations.

President Donald Trump instituted the Protect Life Rule in 2019 that prohibits abortion vendors from receiving Title X "family planning" dollars if they commit abortions. Title X recipients are also barred from referring patients for abortions. Biden rescinded the rule in October.

But his decision did not follow the proper rule-making requirements, according to the federal lawsuit.

The new Biden rule "unlawfully permits funds appropriated under Title X of the Public Health Service Act to be used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning," Yost said in his request for a preliminary injunction.

"Ohio will likely prevail on the merits, both because the Final Rule is contrary to law and because it is arbitrary and capricious," Yost argued. He said that Section 1008 of the Public Health Service Act makes clear that taxpayer dollars under Title X cannot be used for abortions. "None of the funds appropriated under this title shall be used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning," Section 1008 says.

Biden's new rule clearly violates this section, Yost said.

"It is sufficient to hold that the Final Rule exceeds those bounds, thereby violating the statute, by requiring no meaningful degree of financial and physical separation and by mandating abortion referrals," the lawsuit says.

The new regulation also requires recipients of taxpayer dollars under the Health Service Act to refer people for abortions. The federal lawsuit said "the mandatory referral policy in the Final Rule is not in accordance with law"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
