     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, nearly half of all pregnancies in the United 
     States are unintended, and nearly half of unintended 
     pregnancies end in abortion.
       (4) In 2006, 36,200,000 women, more than 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 some of the highest rates of 
     sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among industrialized 
     nations. In 2006, there were approximately 19,000,000 new 
     cases of STIs, almost half of them occurring in young people 
     ages 15 to 24. According to the Centers for Disease Control 
     and Prevention, in addition to the burden on public health, 
     STIs impose a tremendous economic burden with direct medical 
     costs as high as $14,700,000,000 each year in 2006 dollars.
       (6) Contraceptive use can improve overall health by 
     enabling women to plan and space their pregnancies and has 
     contributed to dramatic declines in maternal and infant 
     mortality. Widespread use of contraceptives has been the 
     driving force in reducing unintended pregnancies and sexually 
     transmitted infections (STIs), and reducing the need for 
     abortion in this nation. Contraceptive use also saves public 
     health dollars. For every dollar spent to provide services in 
     publicly funded family planning clinics, $4.02 in Medicaid 
     expenses are saved because unintended births are averted.
       (7) Reducing unintended pregnancy improves maternal health 
     and is an important strategy in efforts to reduce maternal 
     mortality. Women experiencing unintended pregnancy are at 
     greater risk for physical abuse.
       (8) 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.
       (9) The ability to control fertility allows couples to 
     achieve economic stability by facilitating greater 
     educational achievement and participation in the workforce.
       (10) Contraceptives are effective in preventing unintended 
     pregnancy when used consistently and correctly. Without 
     contraception, a sexually active woman has an 85 percent 
     chance of becoming pregnant within a year.
       (11) Approximately 50 percent of unintended pregnancies 
     occur among women who do not use contraception.
       (12) Many poor and low-income women cannot afford to 
     purchase contraceptive services and supplies on their own. 
     The number of women needing subsidized services has increased 
     by more than 1,000,000 (7 percent) since 2000. A poor woman 
     in the United States is now nearly 4 times as likely as a 
     more affluent woman to have an unplanned pregnancy. Between 
     1994 and 2001, unintended pregnancy among low-income women 
     increased by 29 percent, while unintended pregnancy decreased 
     by 20 percent among women with higher incomes.
       (13) 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.
       (14) Medicaid has become an essential source of support for 
     the provision of subsidized family planning services and 
     supplies. It is the single largest source of public funds 
     supporting these services. In 2001, the program provided 6 in 
     10 of all public dollars spent on family planning services. 
     In 2006, 12 percent of women of reproductive age (7,300,000 
     women ages 15 to 44) looked to Medicaid for their care and 37 
     percent of poor women of reproductive age rely upon Medicaid.
       (15) Approximately 1,400,000 unintended pregnancies and 
     600,000 abortions are averted each year because of services 
     provided in publicly funded clinics. In 2006, Title X (of the 
     Public Health Service Act) service providers performed more 
     than 2,400,000 Pap tests, 2,400,000 breast exams, and 
     5,800,000 tests for sexually transmitted diseases, including 
     652,426 HIV tests and 2,300,000 Chlamydia tests. One in 4 
     women who obtain reproductive health services from a medical 
     provider do so at a publicly funded clinic.
       (16) The stagnant funding for public family planning 
     programs in combination with the increasing demand for 
     subsidized services, the rising costs of contraceptive 
     services and supplies, and the high cost of improved 
     screening and treatment for cervical cancer and sexually 
     transmitted infections has diminished the ability of clinics 
     receiving funds under title X of the Public Health Services 
     Act to adequately serve all those in need. At present, 
     clinics are able to reach just 41 percent of the women 
     needing subsidized services. Had Title X funding kept up with 
     inflation since fiscal year 1980, it would now be funded at 
     $759,000,000, instead of its fiscal year 2007 funding level 
     of $283,000,000. Taking inflation into account, funding for 
     Title X in constant dollars is 63 percent lower today than it 
     was in fiscal year 1980.
       (17) 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.
       (18) 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.
       (19) As of December of 2008, 27 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.

[[Page S48]]

       (20) 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.
       (21) 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.
       (22) Approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration, 
     emergency contraception is a safe and effective way to 
     prevent unintended pregnancy after unprotected sex. Research 
     confirms that easier access to emergency contraceptives does 
     not increase sexual risk-taking or sexually transmitted 
     diseases.
       (23) 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.
       (24) 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.
       (25) 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 sex education that includes 
     information about both abstinence and contraception.
       (26) Teens who receive comprehensive sex 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.
       (27) 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.
       (28) Recent scientific reports by the Institute of 
     Medicine, the American Medical Association, and the Office on 
     National AIDS Policy stress the need for sex 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.
       (29) 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.''
       (30) Comprehensive sex education programs respect the 
     diversity of values and beliefs represented in the community 
     and will complement and augment the sex education children 
     receive from their families.
       (31) Over 60 percent of the 56,300 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. In 
     2005, Blacks and Latinos accounted for 84 percent of all new 
     HIV infections among 13 to 19 year olds and 76 percent of HIV 
     infections among 20 to 24 year olds in the United States even 
     though, together, they represent only about 32 percent of 
     people in these ages. Teens in the United States contract an 
     estimated 9,000,000 sexually transmitted infections each 
     year. By age 24, at least 1 in 4 sexually active people 
     between the ages of 15 and 24 will have contracted a sexually 
     transmitted infection.
       (32) 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.
       (33) In 1990, Congress passed the Medicaid Anti-
     Discriminatory Drug Price and Patient Benefit Restoration Act 
     to ensure that Medicaid receives the lowest drug prices in 
     the marketplace. Congress intentionally protected the 
     practice of pharmaceutical companies offering charitable 
     organizations and clinics nominally-priced drugs. As an 
     unintended consequence of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, 
     birth control prices have skyrocketed for millions of women 
     who depend on safety net providers for their birth control. 
     Birth control that previously cost only $5 to $10 per month 
     is now prohibitively expensive, running as much as $40 or $50 
     a month. Many family planning health centers have absorbed 
     much of this price increase, further straining already 
     limited resources. As the economic crisis worsens, women and 
     their families are increasingly turning to health care safety 
     net providers, such as family planning health centers, for a 
     reliable source of care.

     requirements imposed by the amendments made by this title, 
     the State plan shall not be regarded as failing to comply 
     with the requirements of such title solely on the basis of

     first day of the first calendar quarter beginning after the 
     close of the first regular session of the State legislature 
     that begins after the date of the enactment of this Act. For 
     purposes of the previous sentence, in the case of a State 
     that has a 2-year legislative session, each year of the
