HHS
Secretary Statement on Ninth Circuit’s Rejection of Nationwide
Block on New Family Planning Policy
On Thursday, HHS Secretary Alex Azar released the
following statement on the United States Court of Appeals for the
Ninth Circuit’s decision to stay a nationwide injunction against
the implementation of an updated rule regarding Title X family
planning program:
“We are pleased that the Ninth Circuit has recognized
that there is no need to hold up the new family planning rules that
enforce laws on the books and revert substantially to rules that
the Supreme Court upheld decades ago. We are also pleased that the
Ninth Circuit agreed that the three preliminary injunctions against
the new rules, including two nationwide injunctions, were
inappropriate. This decision is a major step toward the Trump
Administration being able to ensure that all Title X projects
comply with the Title X statute and do not support abortion
as a method of family planning.”
