Biden admin allocates $6 million more for family planning clinics

The Biden administration is giving clinics that provide free and subsidized family planning services an additional $6 million, the White House announced in a memo Tuesday, as part of the broader response to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and more than a dozen states moving to outlaw abortion.

The new grants for the Research-to-Practice, Teen Pregnancy Prevention and Title X programs were announced ahead of President Joe Biden’s meeting Tuesday with his Task Force on Reproductive Healthcare Access.

Providers in Florida, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Wisconsin will receive the supplemental funds, the Department of Health and Human Services told POLITICO. Of those states, only Florida, North Carolina and Wisconsin have implemented new abortion restrictions since the fall of Roe.
