Title X Funding
- Share via
Americans are in danger of getting shortchanged--both morally and fiscally.
The people need to know that Title X funding has become a political football. Title X helps pay for family planning clinics, like Planned Parenthood. Despite misinformation to the contrary, it does not finance abortions--quite the opposite. It helps avoid them! That’s because family planning education slashes the rate of unwanted pregnancies.
The Republican budget slashers would have us believe that converting funds earmarked for Title X into non-specified block grants represents a step forward for American values. It is not, either in the moral or the financial sense.
