Recent Developments
Jan 10, 2026 - Title X Funding To Planned Parenthood Restored
- The Trump administration restored tens of millions in funding to Planned Parenthood in December 2025. Many clinics saved their receipts from low-income patients who came in for birth control, testing for sexually transmitted infections, and other Title X services and can submit them now for federal reimbursement but dozens of clinics have shut down since funding was withheld and are unlikely to reopen, according to Politico. "More than 800 service sites were unable to provide Title X services. Hundreds of thousands of patients were unable to get Title X services. So the impact was tremendous," said Brigitte Amiri, the deputy director at the ACLU’s Reproductive Freedom Project.
- The government funding landscape for family planning fundamentally changed in 2025, according to healthcare policy research organization KFF. The US federal government, the largest donor to family planning in the world, has instituted significant changes to global health programs including freezing, and then cancelling, most global family planning projects; restricting allowable activities; rescinding family planning funding previously provided by US Congress for 2025; and seeking to eliminate family planning funding in 2026. These actions have significantly driven down disbursements. In addition, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development projects that total international assistance from donor governments will have decreased in 2025 as other large donors to family planning including the Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Canada have also signaled reductions in their development assistance budgets.
- Infant mortality has risen in states that enacted tighter abortion restrictions following the June 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health decision, according to "Abortion Restrictions and Infant Mortality in the United States, 2018–2023", a study published in the American Journal of Public Health. Higher mortality occurs for newborns – those less than a day old – as well as older infants – those 1 month to 1 year old. States with new restrictions that include health exceptions, which permit an abortion to be performed to save the life of the mother or in the case of life-limiting fetal abnormality, experience a similar increase in infant deaths. States with abortion restrictions enacted after Dobbs saw a 7.2% increase in infant deaths – an increase of roughly 30 deaths per year in children up to age 1. These deaths did not exclusively occur among newborns in their first day of life. Much of the disparity was concentrated among infants between 1 month and 1 year old, who suffered a 9.3% increase in excess deaths.
- Family planning center industry employment and average wages for nonsupervisory employees increased slightly during the first eight months of 2025, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Family planning industry sales are forecast to decrease at a 1.46% compounded annual rate from 2025 to 2029, slower than the growth of the overall economy, according to Inforum and the Interindustry Economic Research Fund, Inc.
