SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) Healthy People 2010 sets forth a reduction of 
        unintended pregnancies as an important health objective for the 
        Nation to achieve over the first decade of the new century, a 
        goal first articulated in the 1979 Surgeon General's Report, 
        Healthy People, and reiterated in Healthy People 2000: National 
        Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives.
            (2) Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
        (referred to in this section as the ``CDC'') included family 
        planning in its published list of the Ten Great Public Health 
        Achievements in the 20th Century, the United States still has 
        one of the highest rates of unintended pregnancies among 
        industrialized nations.
            (3) Each year, 3,000,000 pregnancies, nearly half of all 
        pregnancies, in the United States are unintended, and nearly 
        half of unintended pregnancies end in abortion.
            (4) In 2004, 34,400,000 women, half of all women of 
        reproductive age, were in need of contraceptive services and 
        supplies to help prevent unintended pregnancy, and nearly half 
        of those were in need of public support for such care.
            (5) The United States has the highest rate of infection 
        with sexually transmitted diseases of any industrialized 
        country. In 2005, there were approximately 19,000,000 new cases 
        of sexually transmitted diseases, almost half of them occurring 
        in young people ages 15 to 24. According to the CDC, these 
        sexually transmitted diseases impose a tremendous economic 
        burden with direct medical costs as high as $14,100,000,000 per 
        year.
            (6) Increasing access to family planning services will 
        improve women's health and reduce the rates of unintended 
        pregnancy, abortion, and infection with sexually transmitted 
        diseases. Contraceptive use saves public health dollars. For 
        every dollar spent to increase funding for family planning 
        programs under title X of the Public Health Service Act, $3.80 
        is saved.
            (7) Contraception is basic health care that improves the 
        health of women and children by enabling women to plan and 
        space births.
            (8) Women experiencing unintended pregnancy are at greater 
        risk for physical abuse and women having closely spaced births 
        are at greater risk of maternal death.
            (9) A child born from an unintended pregnancy is at greater 
        risk than a child born from an intended pregnancy of low birth 
        weight, dying in the first year of life, being abused, and not 
        receiving sufficient resources for healthy development.
            (10) The ability to control fertility allows couples to 
        achieve economic stability by facilitating greater educational 
        achievement and participation in the workforce.
            (11) Without contraception, a sexually active woman has an 
        85 percent chance of becoming pregnant within a year.
            (12) The percentage of sexually active women ages 15 
        through 44 who were not using contraception increased from 5.4 
        percent to 7.4 percent in 2002, an increase of 37 percent, 
        according to the CDC. This represents an apparent increase of 
        1,430,000 women and could raise the rate of unintended 
        pregnancy.
            (13) Many poor and low-income women cannot afford to 
        purchase contraceptive services and supplies on their own. In 
        2003, 20.5 percent of all women ages 15 through 44 were 
        uninsured.
            (14) Public health programs, such as the Medicaid program 
        and family planning programs under title X of the Public Health 
        Service Act, provide high-quality family planning services and 
        other preventive health care to underinsured or uninsured 
        individuals who may otherwise lack access to health care.
            (15) The Medicaid program is the single largest source of 
        public funding for family planning services and HIV/AIDS care 
        in the United States. Half of all public dollars spent on 
        contraceptive services and supplies in the United States are 
        provided through the Medicaid program and more than 6,000,000 
        low-income women of reproductive age rely on such program for 
        their basic health care needs.
            (16) Each year, family planning services provided under 
        title X of the Public Health Service Act enable people in the 
        United States to prevent approximately 1,000,000 unintended 
        pregnancies, and one in three women of reproductive age who 
        obtains testing or treatment for sexually transmitted diseases 
        does so at a clinic receiving funds under such title. In 2005, 
        such clinics provided 2.5 million Pap smears, over 5.3 million 
        sexually transmitted disease tests, and over 6.2 million HIV 
        tests.
            (17) The combination of an increasing number of uninsured 
        individuals, stagnant funding for family planning, health care 
        inflation, new and expensive contraceptive technologies, 
        increasing costs of contraceptives, and improved but expensive 
        screening and treatment for cervical cancer and sexually 
        transmitted diseases, has diminished the ability of clinics 
        receiving funds under title X of the Public Health Service Act 
        to adequately serve all individuals in need of services of such 
        clinics. Taking inflation into account, funding for the family 
        planning programs under such title declined by 59 percent 
        between 1980 and 2005.
            (18) While the Medicaid program remains the largest source 
        of subsidized family planning services, States are facing 
        significant budgetary pressures to cut their Medicaid programs, 
        putting many women at risk of losing coverage for family 
        planning services.
            (19) In addition, eligibility under the Medicaid program in 
        many States is severely restricted, which leaves family 
        planning services financially out of reach for many poor women. 
        Many States have demonstrated tremendous success with Medicaid 
        family planning waivers that allow States to expand access to 
        Medicaid family planning services. However, the administrative 
        burden of applying for a waiver poses a significant barrier to 
        States that would like to expand their coverage of family 
        planning programs through Medicaid.
            (20) As of December of 2006, 24 States offered expanded 
        family planning benefits as a result of Medicaid family 
        planning waivers. The cost-effectiveness of these waivers was 
        affirmed by a recent evaluation funded by the Centers for 
        Medicare & Medicaid Services. This evaluation of six waivers 
        found that all family planning programs under such waivers 
        resulted in significant savings to both the Federal and State 
        governments. Moreover, the researchers found measurable 
        reductions in unintended pregnancy.
            (21) Although employer-sponsored health plans have improved 
        coverage of contraceptive services and supplies, largely in 
        response to State contraceptive coverage laws, there is still 
        significant room for improvement. The ongoing lack of coverage 
        in health insurance plans, particularly in self-insured and 
        individual plans, continues to place effective forms of 
        contraception beyond the financial reach of many women.
            (22) Including contraceptive coverage in private health 
        care plans saves employers money. Not covering contraceptives 
        in employee health plans costs employers 15 to 17 percent more 
        than providing such coverage.
            (23) Approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration, 
        emergency contraception is a safe and effective way to prevent 
        unintended pregnancy after unprotected sex. New research 
        confirms that easier access to emergency contraceptives does 
        not increase sexual risk-taking or sexually transmitted 
        diseases.
            (24) The available evidence shows that many women do not 
        know about emergency contraception, do not know where to get 
        it, or are unable to access it. Overcoming these obstacles 
        could help ensure that more women use emergency contraception 
        consistently and correctly.
            (25) A November 2006 study of declining pregnancy rates 
        among teens concluded that the reduction in teen pregnancy 
        between 1995 and 2002 is primarily the result of increased use 
        of contraceptives. As such, it is critically important that 
        teens receive accurate, unbiased information about 
        contraception.
            (26) The American Medical Association, the American Nurses 
        Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American 
        College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Public 
        Health Association, and the Society for Adolescent Medicine, 
        support responsible sexuality education that includes 
        information about both abstinence and contraception.
            (27) Teens who receive comprehensive sexuality education 
        that includes discussion of contraception as well as abstinence 
        are more likely than those who receive abstinence-only messages 
        to delay sex, to have fewer partners, and to use contraceptives 
        when they do become sexually active.
            (28) Government-funded abstinence-only-until-marriage 
        programs are precluded from discussing contraception except to 
        talk about failure rates. An October 2006 report by the 
        Government Accountability Office found that the Department of 
        Health and Human Services does not review the materials of 
        recipients of grants administered by such department for 
        scientific accuracy and requires grantees to review their own 
        materials for scientific accuracy. The GAO also reported on the 
        Department's total lack of appropriate and customary 
        measurements to determine if funded programs are effective. In 
        addition, a separate letter from the Government Accountability 
        Office found that the Department of Health and Human Services 
        is in violation of Federal law by failing to enforce a 
        requirement under the Public Health Service Act that Federally-
        funded grantees working to address the prevention of sexually 
        transmitted diseases, including abstinence-only-until-marriage 
        programs, must provide medically accurate information about the 
        effectiveness of condoms.
            (29) Recent scientific reports by the Institute of 
        Medicine, the American Medical Association, and the Office on 
        National AIDS Policy stress the need for sexuality education 
        that includes messages about abstinence and provides young 
        people with information about contraception for the prevention 
        of teen pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, and other sexually transmitted 
        diseases.
            (30) A 2006 statement from the American Public Health 
        Association (``APHA'') ``recognizes the importance of 
        abstinence education, but only as part of a comprehensive 
        sexuality education program ... APHA calls for repealing 
        current federal funding for abstinence-only programs and 
        replacing it with funding for a new Federal program to promote 
        comprehensive sexuality education, combining information about 
        abstinence with age-appropriate sexuality education.''
            (31) Comprehensive sexuality education programs respect the 
        diversity of values and beliefs represented in the community 
        and will complement and augment the sexuality education 
        children receive from their families.
            (32) Nearly half of the 40,000 annual new cases of HIV 
        infections in the United States occur in youth ages 13 through 
        24. African American and Latino youth have been 
        disproportionately affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Although 
        African American adolescents, ages 13 through 19, represent 
        only 15 percent of the adolescent population in the United 
        States, they accounted for 73 percent of new AIDS cases 
        reported among adolescents in 2004. Latino adolescents, ages 
        age 13 through 19, accounted for 14 percent of AIDS cases among 
        adolescents, compared to 16 percent of all adolescents in the 
        United States, in 2004. Teens in the United States contract an 
        estimated 9.1 million sexually transmitted infections each 
        year. By age 24, at least one in four sexually active people 
        between the ages of 15 and 24 will have contracted a sexually 
        transmitted disease.
            (33) Approximately 50 young people a day, an average of two 
        young people every hour of every day, are infected with HIV in 
        the United States.
