What we know: Today @realDonaldTrump will issue a rule that takes away people's access to health care and infringes on women's right to safe, legal abortion.

More facts: Planned Parenthood serves 41% of people who rely on Title X — the largest provider in the program. Over and over again, we've seen that community health centers cannot replace the expert reproductive health care Planned Parenthood provides.

But this rule is so much bigger than Planned Parenthood: doctors, nurses, hospitals, & health centers wouldn't be able to refer patients for safe, legal abortion. Providers who care for patients under Title X will be prohibited from telling her where she can go to get one.
And this rule destroys the trust we place in doctors. Until now, under Title X rules, health care providers cannot withhold information from you about your pregnancy options. This gag rule means they can. #NoGagRule
