Congressman George H.W. "Rubbers" Bush co-wrote with one other republican and 2 democrats (bi-partisan) the original Title X funding bill in 1969.
President George H.W. "rubbers" Bush signed the Title X spending bill for 4 yrs. as well as his son George W. Bush during his administration.
Our "morals and values" republican congress has submitted Title X bills since they took over Congress in 1994.
This past year I think the appropriation is $235 million which will be spent on Planned Parenthood (the largest abortion provider in America) and other so-called family planning organizations.
In addition, this same congress and administration will pay the ACLU for some of their work too.
We need to make population and family planning household words. We need to take sensationalism out of this topic so that it can no longer be used by militants who have no real knowledge of the voluntary nature of the program but, rather are using it as a political steppingstone. If family planning is anything, it is a public health matter.
— Representative George H. W. Bush, 1969
Most important is that legislation be recognized as ... a health-care service mechanism and not a population control mechanism.
----Representative. George H.W. Bush, 1970
As we amended the Social Security Act in 1967, I was impressed by the sensible approach of Alan Guttmacher, the obstetrician who served as president of Planned Parenthood. It was ridiculous, he told the committee, to blame mothers on welfare for having too many children when the clinics and hospitals they used were absolutely prohibited from saying a word about birth control. So we took the lead in Congress in providing money and urging -- in fact requiring -- that in the United States family planning services be available for every woman, not just the private patient with her own gynecologist.
George Bush (Foreword to World Population Crisis by Phyllis Piotrow), 1973
The Title X Program
Title X has been key in helping millions of American women prevent unintended pregnancies and obtain reproductive health care for three decades.
Title X of the Public Health Service Act is America's family planning program. It was signed into law in 1970 by President Richard M. Nixon, who said:
"No American woman should be denied access to family planning assistance because of her economic condition. I believe, therefore, that we should establish as a national goal the provision of family planning services ... to all who want but cannot afford them."
Title X is the only federal program dedicated solely to funding family planning and related reproductive health care services. In 1999, it helped to support 61 percent of all family planning agencies (Finer, et al., 2002). Title X accounts for 26 percent of the revenue of agencies receiving Title X funds (AGI, 2005a).
Title X is a vital source of funding for family planning clinics throughout the nation.
All Title X grants are administered through state health departments or regional agencies that subcontract with local clinics. In 2001, approximately 4,400 clinics, located in nearly three-quarters (73 percent) of all counties, provided family planning services funded by Title X. Of the 4.7 million women served by these clinics, 43 percent received care at health departments, 33 percent received care at Planned Parenthood health centers, 13 percent received care at other independent community-based clinics, seven percent received care at hospitals, and four percent received care at community or migrant health centers (AGI, 2004; Frost, et al., 2004).

The Title X funding level for FY 2001, the last Clinton-influenced budget, was a total of $254 million, of which over $58 million went to planned parenthood
In FY 2002, George W. Bush's first full budget year, the Title X birth/population control and Planned Parenthood funding authorization increased over 11,000,000, to $265 million (HR 3061 for FY 2002, signed by President Bush on 1/10/2002)
In FY 2004, George W. Bush's most recently completed full budget year, the Title X birth/population control and Planned Parenthood funding authorization increased even more to $280 million, over $26,000,000 ($26 million) more than Bill Clinton's last budget year! (HR 2673 for FY 2004, signed by President Bush on 1/23/2004)
and don't forget, the good ol' Republican Congress in some cases also funds the ACLU
and on the good side there is this:
