  • Title: USA government and family planning.
    Author: Landman LC.
    Journal: IPPF Med Bull; 1972 Aug; 6(4):1-2. PubMed ID: 12306202.
    Abstract:
    The U.S. government has given remarkable support to family planning in the U.S. and abroad within the last 10 years. Until the mid-1960s there were fairly restrictive laws and policies regarding family planning and no government funds were given for this activity. It was not until 1964 that the first federal grant of $8000 was provided for a family planning project. By 1965 it was estimated that health departments in 40 states authorized referral of those needing family planning services. The Family Planning Services and Population Research Act of 1970 was the first explicit family planning legislation passed by the U.S. Congress. About $93 million was budgeted by the federal government for family planning services by 1971, with a proposed budget for 1973 of $155 million. The research budget was $38 million in 1972. The U.S. also increased its commitment to the support of family planning abroad, most of it through USAID. $96 million was allocated to population and family planning assistance abroad by the U.S. government in 1971.
