One of the country’s largest reproductive health advocacy groups is suing the Trump administration for withholding millions of dollars in federal family planning grants earlier this year.

The National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association (NFPRHA) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Thursday, claiming the Department of Health and Human Services “unlawfully withheld” $65.8 million in Title X funds to 16 family planning groups.

Title X is the nation’s only federally funded family planning program providing birth control and reproductive health care to low-income Americans.

More than a dozen family planning organizations, including nine Planned Parenthood affiliates, received letters in late March stating the Trump administration planned to “temporarily withhold” their allotted Title X grant funding.
