Today's episode takes a deep dive into the latest regulations promulgated by Trump's Department of Health and Human Services regarding Title X funding.\xa0 What does all this mean?\xa0 Listen and find out!

We begin by breaking down Title X, the only federal grant program to poor people for family planning.\xa0 And -- as you might imagine -- Title X explicitly\xa0excludes funding for abortions, but remains a critical source of funding for the critical work Planned Parenthood does with low-income women, including breast and pelvic examinations, breast and cervical cancer screenings, and screenings and treatments for sexually-transmitted infections and HIV.\xa0 So, of course, the Trump Administration just defunded all of that.\xa0 Find out how terrifying the new regulations are.

After that, it's time for a ... lighter(?) segment in which we discuss the difference between clickwrap, browsewrap, and sign-in-wrap (?) agreements and learn about interesting new research into the readability (or lack thereof) of those agreements.

Then, it's time for the answer to Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #116 about a Weekend-at-Bernie's-style auto accident.\xa0 As always, remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page\xa0so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!
