Taking family planning out of Title X: The impact of the proposed new regulations. (Comment).
On September 1, 1987, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) published in the Federal Register its proposed new Title X regulations. These proposed amendments reflect changes in the Title X program that had been called for by President Reagan on July 30, in a speech before leaders of the antiabortion movement. After a lengthy justificatory preamble, the publication spells out the precise language the DHHS has proposed. Excerpts from the language follow:
Definitions
"Family planning" means the process of establishing objectives for the number and spacing of a family's children, and selecting the means (including natural family planning methods, adoption, infertility services and general reproductive health care, abstinence and contraception) by which those objectives may be achieved. As such, family planning does not include medical services or counseling related to pregnancy care after pregnancy is diagnosed (including prenatal or postpartum care or counseling), or abortion-related services. As it relates to the statutory prohibition on the inclusion of abortion as a method of family planning, proper family planning should reduce the incidence of abortion.
"Grantee" means the organization to which a grant is awarded under section 1001 of the Public Health Service Act.
"Organization," as applied to an applicant for or grantee of funds under section 1001 of the Public Health Service Act, means any public or private nonprofit entity in a state. An organization may operate multiple family planning or related programs or projects.
"Program" and "project," which are used interchangeably in these regulations, both refer to the identified activity approved by the Secretary for support under section 1001 of the Public Health Service Act, unless the context indicates otherwise....
