Rep. Mark Green is introducing a bill to bar Joe Biden's HHS from abusing Title X funds to coerce pro-life states into supporting abortion.

The conflict involves the Title X family planning program, which provides services to low-income people, including minors.

Congress should end taxpayer funding to Planned Parenthood and redirect the funds to centers that provide more comprehensive health care.

Medicaid, SCHIP, Title X, and other government health care programs deny parents the right to know which medical services their children receive, even when the services include birth control,psychiatric counseling, or substance-abuse therapy. Reform based onpersonal choice and competition allows parents to ensure that themedical decisions that affect their families are compatible withtheir moral judgments.

Texas teens will now need their parents’ permission to get birth control at federally funded clinics, following a court ruling late last month.

U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a former religious liberty lawyer, found that a federal program that gives teens access to birth control denies a parent 'a fundamental right to control and direct the upbringing of his minor children.'

The omnibus spending bill includes $286 million in Title X funding for "voluntary family planning projects."
