Tell Congress to Increase Funding for Family-Planning Program
Target: U.S. Congress
Sponsored by: NARAL Pro-Choice America
Sponsored by: NARAL Pro-Choice America
Funding levels for Title X ("ten"), the nation's federal family-planning program, are about to be proposed. The program need a funding boost to maintain effectiveness.
Millions of Americans have no health insurance and, for many of them, this program is their only source of health care. The funding is crucial to ensuring women's access to birth control, screening and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases, screenings for breast and cervical cancer and hypertension, prenatal care and well-baby care, among other things.
Urge your members of Congress to protect family-planning services for millions of women and men this year - and for years to come!

It is vital that men and women have access to proper birth control and information to make informed choices. Without these services, we will continue to see unwanted pregnancies and the spread of STD's.
