Thu, 05 Feb 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Just before the House approved its version of the stimulus bill, it was stripped of a controversial provision that would have given states the option to expand a Medicaid-funded program subsidizing family planning services for low-income women. Adam Thomas and Isabel Sawhill agree that the family planning provision was rightly stripped from the package, but argue that it is an important program that has the potential to limit the number of unplanned pregnancies, reduce the incidence of abortion, improve child well-being and actually save money in the long-run.
