Title X (US Family Planning Program)

Title X is a federal program that provides funding to organizations offering comprehensive family planning and reproductive health services to individuals, regardless of income. Established in 1970, its goal is to ensure access to contraception, STI testing, cancer screenings, and related healthcare, especially for those who might not afford it otherwise. The program emphasizes confidentiality and aims to reduce unintended pregnancies and promote informed choices. While it does not fund abortion services, Title X supports a broad range of preventive reproductive health care, focusing on promoting healthier outcomes and empowering individuals to make decisions about their reproductive lives.
