Trump HHS Renews Planned Parenthood Grants for 'Final Year' Due to Legalities, But 'Funds CANNOT Be Used for Abortions'

"The administration has issued the fifth and final year of Title X grants that were locked in place during the Biden presidency. The administration faced significant legal challenges in stopping any of these dollars from going out. [However], Title X funds cannot be used for abortions by law and, consistent with President Trump's Executive Order on Enforcing the Hyde Amendment, the Administration remains committed to realigning the Title X program with the President's pro-life and pro-family agenda going forward." -White House spokesman Kush Desai

On Tuesday, however, the Daily Wire reported that it caught wind the funding would be removed, and subsequently received confirmation from White House spokesman Kush Desai.

"The administration has issued the fifth and final year of Title X grants that were locked in place during the Biden presidency," he said. "The administration faced significant legal challenges in stopping any of these dollars from going out."

Desai added that "Title X funds cannot be used for abortions by law and, consistent with President Trump's Executive Order on Enforcing the Hyde Amendment, the Administration remains committed to realigning the Title X program with the President's pro-life and pro-family agenda going forward," with the next renewal of Title X's five-year funding cycle presenting an opportunity to assert different priorities and restrictions than the Biden administration's...
