On the recordAugust 2, 1995
Mr. Chairman, title X and family planning works. In 1995, over 5 million low-income and uninsured women were served in clinics. In addition to family planning services, they provided screening for breast and cervical cancer. Where are these women going to go? It works. Eighty-three percent of women receiving Federal family planning services rely on clinics funded by title X. And where are these women now going to go? Every public dollar spent on family planning saves $4.40 that would otherwise be spent on medical and welfare costs, saving taxpayers $2 billion annually. Family planning works to save lives and to save money. Let us be honest. If we are against abortion, if we are against escalating welfare costs, we must be a society that stands for family planning. We must give women a place to go.
