In 1970, Congress passed Title X (Title 10) of the Public Health Service Act. This is a federal grant program for family planning.
Title X funds could not be used for the reproductive right to an abortion.
In 1988, the 17th US Health Secretary, Louis Wade Sullivan, announced that family planning clinics can't refer patients for abortion while receiving Title X family planning funds.Comments
