Invest in Women: Increase Funding for International Family Planning
Target: Members of the House Sub-Committee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs

Family planning programs save lives. Yet millions of women around the world do not have access to critical reproductive health services like contraceptives, pregnancy and childbirth care, and HIV prevention programs. Each year, more than 500,000 women worldwide die during pregnancy or childbirth - and nearly of all these deaths could be prevented.
No medical intervention offers the breadth of potential benefits as family planning. When a woman has access to services that let her control her fertility and protect her health, new opportunities, including education and employment, may open up to her. Family planning programs thus have a "ripple effect" that changes the very fabric of families and communities.
Family planning programs are cost-efficient and highly successful, yet consistently under-funded, even as demand for these services rises quickly around the world.
You can help women have the reproductive health choices they need to protect themselves and their families. Please send a message to members of the House Sub-Committee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs today and support our call to increase U.S. funding for international family planning to $1 billion.

The single biggest underlying problem to ALL other problems we are all wrestling with, and ultimately victims of, is TOO MANY PEOPLE. That's right, overpopulation is the root cause of all of our current struggles, for oil, water, food, environment, economy. Please increase family planning budgent to $2 Billion this year.
