Stop Title X Funding

If you call yourself a concerned citizen you should be outraged – I sure am. Now at a time of fiscal crisis when Washington should be tightening its belt and limiting its budget to the essentials, it has proposed an increase in funding (to the tune of $10 million) to an already expensive and dubious program dubbed “Title X”. In the 2010 proposed budget the President wants the tax payer to spend a whopping $327 million in total on “family planning” which includes direct funds to abortions here in the United States and globally, and direct funds to highly controversial and unproven sexual education programs to children as young as the age of five.

Democrats and Republicans were in an uproar a few months ago over federal dollars paying for abortions in the healthcare “reform” bill, where is the uproar over Title X now? In study after study, abortion promoting industries have failed to combat teen pregnancy levels and sexually transmitted infections – we should be eliminating the program not adding funds.

(Hat- tip Susan B. Anthony List) Obama’s proposed budget will fund the following organizations under Title X:

a) Planned Parenthood – they are the largest abortion provider in the world and an already profitable billion dollar industry without government assistance. b) United Nations Population Fund – here we go again with that fine group of nuts at the United Nations– they promote worldwide access to abortion and support China’s cruel and oppressive one-child policy.

Let’s throw Title IX in and get a twofer.

Ridiculous waste of money. I am apalled that the Republicans never got rid of this when they held the presidency and both houses.
