U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand yesterday spoke on the Senate floor urging her colleagues to oppose the Title X Congressional Review Act resolution of disapproval.
The resolution would overturn a federal regulation that prohibits states from discriminating against family planning health care providers and denying them federal funding. Family planning health centers provide primary, preventive, and reproductive health care services to millions of American women.
Despite Gillibrand’s urging, the resolution passed yesterday with Vice President Mike Pence casting the tie-breaking vote.
