Recent Developments
Nov 8, 2024 - SCOTUS Asked To Hear “Buffer Zone” Cases
- The US Supreme Court of the US (SCOTUS) has been asked to consider two cases that could remove limits on how close protesters can be to people at abortion clinics and other health care facilities. The cases argue that "buffer zones" around clinics and "bubble zones" around the people who visit them violate the First Amendment. “Americans either have the right to speech or they don’t. We shouldn’t be practicing viewpoint discrimination,” said Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America, an anti-abortion group that filed an amicus brief in one of the cases. Many pro-choice advocates say that restricting demonstrations safeguards patients and staff.
- A recent US Supreme Court decision rolling back judicial deference to agency actions, commonly known as the Chevron deference, benefitted the state of Tennessee in its bid to get back millions in family planning grant money that was rescinded because it refused to comply with an abortion-related condition placed on the award made by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), according to Bloomberg Law. The Supreme Court said in Loper Bright Enterps. v. Raimondo on June 28, 2004, that an agency’s interpretation of an ambiguous statute is no longer entitled to deference. Instead, courts must decide for themselves if the agency’s rule is supported by the statute. Judge Raymond M. Kethledge strongly suggested that the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit can decide whether HHS had authority to impose a funding condition known as the abortion referral and counseling rule.
- The Biden administration released its fiscal year (FY) 2025 budget proposal, requesting $390 million for the Title X family planning program. It will be the largest appropriation in the program’s history if Congress approves the request. The Biden administration requested $512 million for the program for FY 2024 but $286.5 million was approved by Congress. Major FY 2025 proposal details include providing level funding for the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program at $101 million, extending the mandatory evidence-based comprehensive Personal Responsibility Education Program at $75 million, eliminating funding for the discretionary Sexual Risk Avoidance Program (also known as abstinence only), and removing the Hyde Amendment, which blocks coverage of abortion for people with federally funded insurance plans such as Medicaid.
- Family planning center industry employment and average wages for nonsupervisory employees increased slightly during the first nine months of 2024, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Family planning industry sales are forecast to increase at a 5.1% compounded annual rate from 2024 to 2028, faster than the growth of the overall economy, according to Inforum and the Interindustry Economic Research Fund, Inc.
