said abortions account for only four percent of the services it provides to patients. An estimated 4,000 reproductive health centers throughout the U.S. offer services through Title X, and although Planned Parenthood represented only 13 percent of those centers, nearly half of those who qualified for Title X were Planned Parenthood patients.
During a call held with the press on August 19, Alexis McGill Johnson, Planned Parenthood’s acting president and CEO,the organization would remain open and accessible to those in need, but the gag order could cause a barrier in options for some people. “The Title X program is designed to help bring access to birth control, cancer screenings, STD testing and more to those who otherwise can’t afford it,” McGill said.
Planned Parenthood did not confirm the exact financial specifics of how its departure from Title X would come to impact patients or the organization going forward, CBS Newsbut it promised to continue offering care to its patients. In a press release, the organization theorized that “people who can’t find or can’t afford another reproductive health care provider may be left with nowhere to turn or go without birth control altogether.
