The nation's Democratic governors are warning the Trump administration they may sue if it follows through on a plan to partially defend Planned Parenthood, The Hill is reporting.
"If this reckless policy is finalized as written, we will have no choice but to explore all possible avenues, including legal options, to block it from harming the women in our states," the Democratic Governors Association wrote in a letter to Alex Azar, secretary of Health and Human Services.
The administration has released a draft of a regulation that would reform the Title X grant program. The proposed change would make any organizations that perform or refer women for abortion ineligible for funding.
Planned Parenthood receives millions of dollars every year through Title X, The Hill said.
"If the federal government breaks its commitment to states in the Title X program, we will react in kind and do what is necessary to protect the health of our constituents,” the governors said. "We call on all Americans to actively and aggressively oppose this proposed action.”
Planned Parenthood said the plan appears designed to target the organization.
"The end result would make it impossible for women to come to Planned Parenthood, who are counting on us every day," said executive vice president Dawn Laguens.
