Tennessee’s top legal chief says the federal government is wrongly withholding millions of dollars in family planning funds after the state refused to comply with federal rules requiring clinics to provide abortion referrals due to its current ban on the procedure.
Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti announces a lawsuit against the Meta Platforms Inc., the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, during a news conference Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2023, in Nashville, Tenn. The complaint alleges that the company knew of the harmful impact of its Instagram platform on young people.
However, the program has also become entangled with the increasingly heated fight over abortion access. In 2021, the Biden administration reversed a ban on abortion referrals by clinics that accept Title X funds. The restriction was initially enacted during the Donald Trump administration in 2019, but the department has swung back and forth on the issue for years.
Instead, in September, HHS announced that Tennessee's Title X funds would largely be directly funded to Planned Parenthood, the leading provider of abortions in the United States, which would distribute the money to its clinics located in Tennessee.
