On Friday, Kansas City, Kansas Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann responded to Joe Biden’s assault on human life by using the federal Title X family planning program as a slush fund for abortion. 

Naumann is the chair of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Committee on Pro-Life Activities. Naumann blasted Biden for making the program “become an indirect funding avenue for abortion providers.” 

“In spite of explicit prohibitions in Federal law and clear congressional intent that abortion may not be a part of this program, it has repeatedly been coopted by abortion supporters as a funding stream for organizations, programs, and facilities that directly promote and provide abortions,” wrote Naumann.

“While the USCCB has always had strong objections to government promotion and funding of contraceptives, we have also long supported clear financial and physical separation between Title X-funded projects and programs and facilities where abortion is a method of family planning,” he continued.

“This proposed rule is terrible policy; it would reintegrate abortion into what is supposed to be a pre-pregnancy family planning program. I strongly urge the Biden Administration to suspend this proposed rule and leave the Title X program as it was intended and authorized to be – a program entirely separate from abortion.”

The Title X Family Planning Program is the only federal grant program meant to provide individuals with comprehensive family planning and related preventive health services.

Planned Parenthood abortion business, which would financially profit from the lifting of the pro-life protections placed by President Donald J. Trump on the program, exclaimed on Twitter, “GREAT NEWS!” The group added, “The Biden-Harris admin has the opportunity to expand & improve Title X to make sexual & reproductive health care access a reality for people across the nation.”
