No woman should have to go without basic health care.

In 1970, this fundamental belief spurred a bipartisan coalition in Congress to
set up a new program for low-income Americans, called the Title X ("ten")
family-planning program.

Title X provides vital services, including pap smears, mammograms, and birth
control to five million women and men every year. Family-planning services
prevent unintended pregnancies and thus reduce the need for abortion. By
investing in preventive health care, Title X saves taxpayers money in the long
run.

Now, as our country faces a health-care crisis, anti-choice ideologues in
Congress are trying to deny women access to this successful and proven program.

X.

Right now, pro-family-plannning lawmakers outnumber our opponents in Congress,
but by the very slimmest of margins. Last year, with new pro choice leadership
in Congress, we secured the first significant increase in Title X funding since
President Bush took office, but anti-choice politicians aren't giving up.

Just last year, presidential candidate Sen. John McCain and other anti-choice
senators tried to deny federal funding to health centers, including Title X
clinics, that use their own privately raised dollars for abortion care (they
lost). And McCain has voted to terminate the program altogether!

Help us launch the counterattack. Title X needs your help in the face of an
onslaught by McCain and his far-right allies.

Programs like Title X should remind us all why it's so important to elect
pro-choice leaders this November to beat back these attacks on family planning
and invest in programs like Title X that so many women rely on.

Title X has been the cornerstone of our nation's family-planning services for
nearly 40 years. By providing vital care, such as cancer screenings and STD
treatment, it has undoubtedly saved lives. Let's return the favor by saving
Title X. Click below to send a letter to your member of Congress today.
