California sues Trump administration over 'gag rule' on abortion access
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced Monday that the state filed a lawsuit against the administration of President Donald Trump over its new rule that restricts access to abortions and other reproductive health services.
The Title X program, which dates back to 1970, provides family planning and related preventative health care assistance to about 4 million low-income individuals each year through independent clinics, including many affiliated with Planned Parenthood. The new rule"makes notable improvements designed to increase the number of patients served and improve the quality of their care," the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced Feb. 22.
"We're ready for this next challenge," Becerra said."We're ready to stand up for a woman's right to make her own health care decision about her own body."
