TITLE X
The flood gates of government money to Planned Parenthood began to open when the Title X program of the Health and Human Services Act was passed into law in 1970. It was introduced in congress by George H. W. Bush. A thorough description of the Title X program can be found on the web site of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Besides being America's largest abortion provider it also part of the eugenics plan of Margaret Sanger. Don't be fooled by the "family planning" aspect of the agency.
Here is a short summary of that description:
The Title X program is the only federal program devoted solely to the provision of family planning and reproductive health care. The program is designed to provide access to contraceptive supplies and information to all who want and need them with priority given to low-income persons.
Title X service funds are allocated to the ten DHHS regional offices. The regional offices manage the competitive review process, make grant awards and monitor program performance. Services are delivered through a network of community-based clinics that include state and local health departments, hospitals, university health centers, Planned Parenthood affiliates, independent clinics, and public and non-profit agencies.
According to a study done by the United States government's General Accounting Office, in 2001, Planned Parenthood received $59,027,083 in Title X funds.
ACTION ITEM: All opponents of Planned Parenthood should immediately contact members of congress (see list of committees below) to put an end to the Title X program. The minimum that should be accepted is that Title X stop funding giving underage girls access to "family planning."
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE
A full list of what congressional committees are responsible for the appropriation and authorizing these funds that support Planned Parenthood can be found in the GAO report on page 10. The House Votes on the Bill and the President Signs it. Contact your representatives.
Here are the Pro-Death Clinton administration annual funding of Planned Parenthood compared to the "Pro-Life" Bush administration annual Planned Parenthood funding. (Compiled by The American Life League)
The total amount recieved under the Clinton administration was $1,279,000,000
The break down by year is :
1993- $ 78,900,000
1994- $158,800,000
1995- $163,100,000
1996- $171,900,000
1997- $177,500,000
1998- $165,000,000
1999- $176,500,000
2000- $187,300,000
The largest amount recieved was $187,300,000 in the year 2000
The total amount (to date) received under the Bush(43) administration is $1,235,900,000
2001- $202,700,000
2002- $240,900,000
2003- $254,400,000
2004- $265,200,000
2005- $272,700,000
2006- data not yet in
The largest amount (to date) recieved was $272,700,000 in the year 2005
If the yearly amount climbs by $10 million each year (as seems to be the approximate climb), the total for the Bush administration should be about $1,809,900,000.
