ERASE MM panels review and document social and legal factors that go into providing maternal health care. Absent or inconsistent approaches state-by-state could make it harder to spot gaps for Native mothers.\r\n<P><\/P>\r\nFederal funding cuts also threaten access to birth control for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kff.org\/womens-health-policy\/issue-brief\/title-x-grantees-and-clinics-affected-by-the-trump-administrations-funding-freeze\/\">more than 800,000 women<\/a>. The Trump administration is signaling a shift in the Nixon-era program known as Title X, promoting fertility programs for low-income women rather than providing them contraception. \r\n<p><\/p>\r\nIn addition, pending cuts to Medicaid could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2025\/08\/07\/nx-s1-5494710\/trump-birth-control-contraception\">reduce family planning services to millions more<\/a>.
