Rep. Chu Responds to Trump Plans to Rip Away Family Planning Health Care

WASHINGTON, DC - Responding to reporting today in the Wall Street Journal that the Trump administration is moving to freeze tens of millions of dollars in Title X federal family-planning grants, Rep. Judy Chu (CA-28), Chair of the Reproductive Freedom Caucus's Contraception, Family Planning, and Education Task Force, released the following statement:

"I strongly condemn the Trump Administration's plans to illegally freeze millions of dollars in Title X family planning funds-critical support that millions of people rely on for birth control, STI treatment, cancer screenings, and more. This move isn't about oversight-it's about control. The Trump-Vance-Musk administration is targeting organizations such as Planned Parenthood that provide legal abortion care and ripping away other health care in the process under an "anti-DEI" guise. Republicans should just admit their real goals: continue to advance this country to one of forced birth. My colleagues on the Reproductive Freedom Caucus and I will continue using every lever of power we have to fight back in Congress, courts, and the streets."
