Planned Parenthood: Birth Control is the Most Important Investment Uncle Sam Can Make

By C-Fam Staff | February 19, 2010

In an interview this week Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood of America, when asked her thoughts about the United States health care bill, stated that she believes the US should provide free birth control to every woman. She goes on to say that,

Investing in family planning is the smartest investment the federal government can make, so I think they should just be dropping it out of airplanes…

So lets get this straight – Ms. Richards finds that above education, national defense, national infrastructure, or anything for that matter, making sure there are less Americans is the best investment Americans can make.

That she has been frequent guest at the White House comes as no surprise, given the litany of funding and policy decisions made by the new administration in the last year.
