                <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In case you missed it, February has been anti-abortion rights month for Republicans in Congress: they&#8217;re pushing an agenda that includes defunding Planned Parenthood, reducing money for family planning and other related actions. The proposals led U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee, a California Democrat, to describe the campaign as a &#8220;war on women.&#8221;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a Kaiser Health News <a href="http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/Stories/2011/February/18/planned-parenthood-title-10.aspx">guide to the Republican&#8217;s plan to greatly reduce funding for abortion services</a>, and so-called Title X money.</p>
<blockquote><p>Reproductive health advocates such as Families USA, Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America argue that eliminating or restricting access to Title X money would cut off vital financial support for health centers that are providing care at steeply discounted rates for low-income patients. According to Adam Sonfield, a senior public policy associate at the Guttmacher Institute, Title X money gives clinics the flexibility to invest in things like outreach and infrastructure—something Medicaid payments don&#8217;t account for. The institute also estimates that the contraceptive services offered at Title X centers prevent 973,000 unintended pregnancies each year. </p></blockquote>
