If you want to know what a Mitt Romney presidency and a Paul Ryan vice-presidency would mean for your local family planning clinic, look at what happened in Texas and Ryan's home state of Wisconsin.Women's health clinics around the country rely on federal funding for family planning. Almost all of that money comes from two sources: Medicaid, the joint federal-state health care program for low-income people, pregnant women, and infants; and the decades old program known as Title X.GOP governors like Texas's Rick Perry and Wisconsin's Scott Walker have targeted both of these income streams in their states, blocking many clinics from receiving crucial funds. But Romney and Ryan would gut both programs on the federal level, all but ensuring that clinics in blue states have to close, too.
it's one thing to fool people of your own party into thinking that women don't need anything healthcare, fair wage, say so over their own bodies and they vote for them.
this atrocity to womankind is including those who know better and are aware of their skulduggery and dragging unwilling American's into their pit of hate and control, that is wrong and inhuman.
"What has [been] done in Texas, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan would do in all 50 states if elected," says Justine Sessions, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood, which operates family planning clinics nationwide.
Title X was established in 1970 to provide birth control and preventative health services to millions of men and women across the US, regardless of income or insurance status. In 2010, clinics funded by Title X performed over 6 million Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) tests, according to STD awareness organizations. Planned Parenthood alone provides care to about one-third of Title X patients. And some studies show that Title X family planning actually saves taxpayers money—according to Guttmacher Institute, which promotes reproductive rights worldwide, in the US "every $1.00 invested in helping women avoid pregnancies they did not want to have saved $3.74 in Medicaid expenditures."
