BREAKING: Despite massive opposition, the Trump-Pence administration just released its unethical gag rule, making it illegal for Title X health care providers to refer patients for abortion. #NoGagRule #DontGagMyCare 
The gag rule will effectively dismantle the Title X program — a program meant to ensure that people with low incomes can access birth control & other essential reproductive health care. #NoGagRule #DontGagMyCare
This rule also imposes costly and unnecessary “physical separation” requirements on health centers that provide abortion, which could force health centers to construct whole new health center or hire an entire second staff. #NoGagRule #DontGagMyCare
The administration has put health care providers in the Title X program in an impossible position: withhold information from its patients or get pushed out of the program.
The effect?
Thousands of people will be left with nowhere to turn for health care. #NoGagRule

The majority of patients who get care through the Title X program identify as people of color, Hispanic, or Latino. Thanks to the gag rule, the already massive divide between who does and who doesn’t have health care will get worse. #NoGagRule #DontGagMyCare
Health care is a human right, and we will not let the gag rule stand. The Trump-Pence administration may not think you deserve care, but we do. #NoGagRule #DontGagMyCare
