Rust V. Sullivan
Rust v. Sullivan, 111 U.S 1759 (1991),[1] is a ruling of the United States Supreme Court where petitioner Erving Rust et al. claimed that federal regulations created under Title X were in violation of the first and fifth amendments. The federal regulations stated that Family Planning Clinics could not provide counseling or education on abortions.[2] According to the plaintiffs this was a clear violation of the constitution and of a women's right to abortion. The court ruled 5-4 that the federal regulations were not in violation of either amendment because the language used in Title X is generic and allows such constructions to be put in place.[3]
