Statement of Rep. Danny K. Davis on President Trump's Proposed "Gag Rule" on Women's Health

I strongly oppose, and will do all in my power to block, President Trump's "Gag Rule," a proposed regulation which would be devastating women’s basic health rights. This is an assault on the health care of the most vulnerable and under-served women and families in our nation and would heartlessly cut off access to "Title X" affordable contraception, critical health information and preventive health care. Title X is the only federal grant initiative dedicated to providing family planning services to low-income and otherwise under-served individuals. Title X is used by millions of women. It effects have been transformative in medically under-served communities by providing confidential, medically accurate reproductive health information and vital services.
