Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : "The end of the Title X gag rule is a major victory," Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood, said in a statement on Monday.
47% : "Given the attacks on abortion in Texas and across the country, it's more important than ever that patients can access their choice of birth control and other health care through Title X -- and that it is easily available," Johnson added.
42% : Connor Semelsberger, a director of federal affairs at the Family Research Council, told The Post that "it comes as no surprise" that the Biden administration "moved at lightning speed to ... send millions of taxpayer dollars to America's largest abortion business, Planned Parenthood."
40% : Title X is a critical piece of our social safety net that can, and should, ensure that people with low incomes can access essential health care without forcing providers to withhold referrals for all of the options available to them."
37% : Planned Parenthood's acting president at the time called it a "unethical rule that will limit what providers can tell our patients," although the Trump administration argued its rules did not include "the so-called 'gag rule' on counseling about abortion that was part of the Reagan Administration's Title X rule."
