Don't Let Fake Clinics Take Over Women's Reproductive Rights

  • af: Care2
  • mottagare: Mike Leavitt, Secretary of Health and Human Services

Don't think that President Bush's attacks against women's health are over. The current administration is proposing to open up more government funds to clinics that claim to be informative "crisis pregnancy centers," or CPCs, but they really only exist to push their anti-choice agenda, preventing women from knowing all the options they have.

These "clinics" are often staffed with untrained volunteers who care more about their own political interests than their patients.

Bush is trying to open up funding for CPCs from Title X - federal money reserved for comprehensive, unbiased family planning clinics. Funding CPCs takes money away from these unbiased clinics.

Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt is about to propose this funding regulation. Tell Leavitt that you want Title X funds to go only to comprehensive reproductive health care centers for women - not "fake clinics"!

Dear Mr. Leavitt,

I am concerned with President Bush's new funding proposal for "crisis pregnancy centers," or CPCs. I am not convinced that these clinics are providing the comprehensive information and care that they are advertising, especially when it comes to providing pregnant women with all the choices they have.

I am concerned with the legitimacy of the staff within these health centers. We do not want staff that is more interested in pushing their own anti-choice agenda rather than seeing what is best for the patient.

CPCs already receive funds from federal abstinence-only pots. President Bush is trying to direct even more money to these clinics from Title X. Title X funds are reserved for comprehensive, unbiased family planning clinics, not fake clinics seeking to push their political ideology.

If the money is redirected to these anti-choice CPCs, it threatens the ability for unbiased clinics to fulfill their mission in providing women with full care. Competition from CPCs has already caused some full-care clinics to cut back.

I expect comprehensive reproductive health care for all women, and we hope that Title X funds are used for nothing other than that.
