How to Contact Your Representative About Title X Family Planning

The Issue

What's at Stake

Title X is the only federal program dedicated solely to family planning and reproductive healthcare for low-income individuals. It funds a network of clinics — including Planned Parenthood affiliates, health departments, and community health centers — that provide contraception, cancer screenings, STI testing, and other preventive services to nearly 4 million patients annually who would otherwise go without care.

Title X funding is consistently targeted for cuts or restrictions. When funding is reduced or eligibility is restricted, clinics close and patients lose access — particularly in rural and underserved communities where alternatives are scarce.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Title X fund?

Title X funds contraception, cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, pregnancy testing, counseling, and other preventive reproductive healthcare services. By law, Title X funds cannot be used to pay for abortions.

Why is Title X at risk?

Title X has been repeatedly targeted for budget cuts and restrictions. Restrictions on which providers can participate have in the past led to clinic closures and reduced access, particularly in rural areas.

Does calling about Title X make a difference?

Yes. Title X has survived multiple defunding attempts in part because of sustained constituent support. Call volume from patients, healthcare advocates, and community members directly influences appropriations decisions.
