HHS stated the 2021 final rule revoked the 2019 Title X regulations and removed restrictions on abortion counseling, abortion referrals, and physical/financial separation.

The governing Title X text supports that the promised statutory change was not enacted into Title X; existing law bars use of funds in abortion-as-family-planning programs, not all grants to entities that perform abortions.
