Policy Alert: Title X Receives $16.8 Million Increase!
Public Policy Alert: 27-December-2007
Title X Increased by 16.8 million dollars for fiscal year 2008!
Late last night, President Bush signed the Omnibus Appropriations Bill, which included a $16.8 million increase for the Title X family planning program. This is the third largest increase to the Title X program in twenty five years!
In addition, the bill level-funds (provides no increase to) abstinence only programs, putting an end to the previous link between Title X funding and abstinence-only funding.
Many thanks to each and every one of you for your hard work on this issue! Your phone calls and letters to your legislators clearly had an impact. Congratulations and best wishes for a happy, healthy and successful 2008!
