Dear ________________,

I'm writing/calling about President Trump's announcement of a "gag rule" on health care providers that participate in Title X, the nation’s program for affordable birth control and reproductive health care that four million people rely on each year. If enacted, the "gag rule" would prohibit ANY Title X health care provider from referring patients for abortion -- even if that’s what the patient wants, and even if withholding that information threatens their health. It would destroy the trust between patients and doctors. And it would put the health care of the four million people who depend on Title X at risk. The gag rule is also designed to make it impossible for reproductive health care providers like Planned Parenthood to serve patients in the program. This could block the 41 percent of Title X patients who rely on Planned Parenthood health centers from care, leaving them without access to life-saving services like cancer screenings, birth control, wellness exams, and more. We know that the gag rule is intended to block people from accessing care and honest information. This would be radical, and has never been implemented in the United States before.

I urge you to express your opposition to this rule. 

Sincerely,
