Let's tell the Wisconsin Legislature to...
"END TAXPAYER FUNDING OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD OF WISCONSN AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT PERFORM OR REFER FOR ABORTION"
Pro-Life Wisconsin is calling upon the Wisconsin State Legislature to include in the 2011-2013 biennial budget bill a provision to end all state and federal funding of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin (PPWI) and other organizations that perform or refer for abortion. As it confronts an over $3 billion structural deficit in the coming biennium, the state of Wisconsin can no longer afford the controversial business of "family planning." Family planning funding is available on the federal level through Title X (Public Health Services Act), Title XIX (Medical Assistance) and Title V (Maternal & Child Health) programs. The state provides matching funds for Title XIX and Title V programs. In 2009, combined annual Wisconsin state and federal family planning expenditures surpassed $49 million (almost $12 million for PPWI).
All money is fungible. Family planning funds free up resources within receiving organizations, such as PPWI, to engage in the surgical abortion business. "Confidential" family planning services include the provision of chemically abortifacient birth control drugs, such as the morning-after pill and the patch, to adults and minor children. Rather than throw money at organizations that perform or refer for abortion, these funds should be eliminated to help balance the state budget or, in the case of the Title V program, be redirected toward preventive and primary care services for children with special health care needs.
