In October 2023, the Biden administration, through the Department of Health and Human Services, under the direction of Xavier Becerra, continued its unrelenting attack on pro-life family centers. After a failed attempt to deny financial aid to pro-life centers in Oklahoma, the administration now seeks new limits in a proposed regulation, titled “Strengthening Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) as a Safety Net and Work Program” and created by a federal statute.
According to the statute, the TANF Program was created to (1) provide assistance to needy families so that children may be cared for in their own homes or in the homes of relatives; (2) end the dependence of needy parents on government benefits by promoting job preparation, work, and marriage; (3) prevent and reduce the incidence of out-of-wedlock pregnancies and establish annual numerical goals for preventing and reducing the incidence of these pregnancies; and (4) encourage the formation and maintenance of two-parent families.
The Biden administration seeks to deny much needed financial support for pregnancy resource centers that help women after they conceive rather than focusing on pregnancy prevention—that is, on abortion.
Under this proposal,
President Biden, of course, abandoned his previous pro-life position, including support for the Hyde Amendment’s ban on federal support for abortion, many years ago. This proposed regulation highlights Biden’s and his administration’s hypocrisy by ignoring inconvenient truths, especially about the unborn.

Under this proposal,
This proposed rule would harm the approximate 3,000 not-for-profit pro-life pregnancy resource centers that freely offer a “full range of services, helping women obtain housing, maternity and baby clothes, baby equipment, pre- and post-natal medical care, legal assistance and financial support, information about adoption, and even advice on how a woman in school can continue her education” by denying them financial assistance.
