he elimination of $363 million in federal funding for Planned Parenthood
health care centers may well force a government shutdown at midnight
tonight.
.
Republicans want to block $70 million Planned Parenthood receives each
year under Title X, a program implemented under Republican President
Richard Nixon in 1970 to provide contraceptives, cancer screenings, and
pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease testing at community health
centers across the country. And they want to cut off $293 million the
clincis receive through Medicare.
.
Conservative lawmakers say the money indirectly subsidizes abortions,
despite the fact that the federal Hyde Amendment expressly prohibits such
use of taxpayer funds.
.
Sen. John Kyl, R-Ariz., repeated a Republican argument today that
abortions are "well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does." He
later clarified that the statistic, which is inaccurate, was "not intended
to be a factual statement."
.
Planned Parenthood is the nation's largest abortion provider, but it
issued a fact sheet today stating that more than 90 percent of its health
care services are preventive, not abortions. The company says no taxpayer
funds are used to fund abortions.
.
"It's an outrage to shut down the government over an extreme proposal that
would deny millions of women Pap tests, breast cancer screenings and birth
control," said Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards.
.
Richards said the company's 800 clinics serve an estimated 3 million
low-income women every year.
.
Democrats say Republicans are on an extremist crusade to put a "bulls eye
on women in America" and undermine essential preventive health care
services for millions of low-income women that rely on Title X-funded
clinics every day.
.
"We are not we are not! bending on women's health," Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid said today.
.
"This has no impact on the budget. It has no impact on the deficit or the
debt," said Maryland Sen. Barbara Mikulski. "Where we will not go is
eliminating the health care for women. Make no mistake, this entire debate
has involved throwing women and children under the bus."
