President Joe Biden signed a new executive order last month to increase access to contraception and family planning services in a move coinciding with the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs abortion decision.
Its overall effect on public policy remains unclear, but the new executive order is part of a larger political tug-of-war over the only federal family planning program: Title X. The fight has escalated in recent years, with far-reaching implications for both contraception and abortion.
