    Title X Family Planning Program - “Since 2011, 13 states have taken actions to restrict participation by certain types of providers as subrecipients in the Title X program based on factors unrelated to the provider's’ ability to provide the services required under Title X effectively. In at least several instances, this has led to disruption of services or reduction of services where a public entity, such as a state health department, holds a Title X grant and makes 21 subawards to subrecipients for the provision of services. In response to these actions, this proposed rule requires that any Title X recipient sub-awarding funds for the provision of Title X services not prohibit a potential subrecipient from participating for reasons unrelated to its ability to provide services effectively.” Planned Parenthood receives roughly $70 million annually in Title X grants for contraceptives and cancer and sexually transmitted infection screenings, none of that can be used for abortion services by law.
    TL:DR Title X Guarantees access and funding and this proposed rule lays the smack down on anything that tries to get in the way.

Into the wayback machine: Back in March on Show 49, with A Play On Nerds, we discussed the weird interplay with letters to Iran and how the GOP was playing a dangerous game of chicken with the State Department. Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton penned an open letter to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. http://www.vox.com/2015/3/10/8182063/tom-cottons-controversial-letter-to-iran-explained  This week that information resurfaced with a little more analysis that included a breakdown of the roughly million dollars of campaign contributions he received during the week of the kerfuffle. We’re not saying he’s been bought by the interests of a foreign power (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu), we’re just saying that freedom of speech in the form of campaign contributions is out of hand…
