Whereas since its creation nearly half a century ago, the family planning program under title X of the Public Health Service Act has provided family planning and related preventive healthcare services to those most in need, and the program has enjoyed broad bipartisan support; Whereas the title X program was created to assist in making comprehensive voluntary family planning services readily available to all persons desiring such services and to enable public and nonprofit private entities to plan and develop comprehensive programs that provide these family planning services; Whereas the title X family planning program serves 4 million people each year, many of whom would otherwise be unable to access this healthcare; Whereas the title X family planning program helps ensure that every person, regardless of where they live, how much money they make, their background, or whether or not they have health insurance, has access to basic, preventive reproductive healthcare, such as birth control, cancer screenings, STD testing and treatment, and well-woman exams; Whereas title X serves a racially and ethnically diverse patient base: at least 1/3 of patients are people of color and 13 percent have limited proficiency in English; Whereas for decades, people receiving services supported by the title X program have been given the full range of information they need to make fully informed decisions about their own pregnancy options, including access to safe and legal abortion; Whereas efforts to stigmatize abortion care and providers of abortion care undermine patients’ ability to make fully informed healthcare decisions; Whereas the American Medical Association states in its Code of Medical Ethics that providers should present relevant information accurately and sensitively, in keeping with the patient’s preferences and that withholding information without the patient’s knowledge or consent is ethically unacceptable
