After receiving bipartisan support, Nixon signs Title X, which is also known as the "Population Research and Voluntary Family Planning Programs Act," directing federal funding to family planning programs, which includes the use of contraceptives.

This follows Congressman George H.W. Bush encouraging federal agencies to "work even more closely with private agencies such as Planned Parenthood" to provide access to birth control for all people in the U.S.

This law is monitored by the Office of Population Affairs, which begins a precarious relationship between state-funded population planning and low-income Communities of Color.

Title X also provides funding for hospitals that perform sterilizations, which particularly impacts Native women.
