Abstract / Summary

Never in its history has the nation’s family planning safety net been in such jeopardy as it is today. The policy agendas of the Trump administration, Congress, and many states are being shaped by leaders adamant in their ideological opposition to—and intent to dismantle—the funding streams and providers that have long constituted the US publicly funded family planning effort.
