It looks like provisions to expand access to affordable family planning will likely be stripped from the economic stimulus bill. What this means is the elimination of family planning funds for low-income individuals and families. We need to expose how this came about –i.e., TRANSPARENCY.
ACTION PLAN:
1. Email, fax, or call your Senators and Representatives and ask them to RESTORE family planning funds for low-income individuals and families. You can find your elected officials’ contact information here: http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml
2. There are good Action Plans and comments here: http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/2009/01/28/obama-caves-womens-groups-shift-focus/
Additional information:
Family planning that Obama may be cutting would save the federal government $200 million over five years by helping women voluntarily avoid pregnancies that otherwise would result in Medicaid-funded births. (The Congressional Budget Office assessed a virtually identical provision in 2007; it found that it would save the federal government $200 million over five years.)
ACTION--in addition to that posted above:
1. Please call the White House immediately and ask President Obama NOT to cut family planning funds in the stimulus package! Call the White House today at 202-456-1414 or 202-456-1111.
