Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost filed the lawsuit to reinstate the Protect Life Rule.

(LifeSiteNews) — Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is leading 11 other states to stop President Joe Biden from expanding funding to Planned Parenthood and other abortion facilities.

A lawsuit filed October 25 asks a federal judge to block the Biden administration from reopening Title X “family planning funds” access to Planned Parenthood and other abortion organizations.


President Donald Trump instituted the Protect Life Rule in 2019 that prohibits abortion vendors from receiving Title X “family planning” dollars if they commit abortions. Title X recipients are also barred from referring patients for abortions. Biden rescinded the rule in October.

But his decision did not follow the proper rule-making requirements, according to the federal lawsuit.

The new Biden rule “unlawfully permits funds appropriated under Title X of the Public Health Service Act to be used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning,” Yost said in his request for a preliminary injunction.
