Women who use no contraceptives account for almost half of these pregnancies (47%),
while the 39 million method users account for 53%. Unintended pregnancies among
women who do not use contraception are almost as likely to end in abortion as they are
in a birth.
New Initiative to Prevent Violence at Women's Health Clinics
The Vice President will announce that the FY 2000 budget includes $4.5 million for
support additional security enhancements for clinic deemed at risk of violence. This
initiatives will help respond to the escalating violence against women's health clinics
and providers. Under this proposal, the Department of Justice would make security
assessments and enhancements, including closed circuit camera systems, improved
lighting, motion detectors, alarm systems and bullet-resistant windows, available to
these clinics deemed to be at high risk of violence.
U.S. Contributions to the UN Population Fund
The UNFPA is the largest multilateral donor organization in the population sector and
concentrates its assistance to countries in the areas of reproductive health and voluntary
family planning, population policy and advocacy. Congress eliminated funding for this
program last year because it continues to fund efforts in China (though the Fund did
not fund abortion). You will announce that the President's FY 2000 budget proposes a
$25 million voluntary contribution to the UNFPA, $5 million more than the President's
FY 1999 budget proposal.
Bilateral International Family Planning Programs
You will announce that the FY 2000 budget includes a $15 million increase over FY 1999
enacted funds in international family planning assistance. The United States, through
US AID, is the largest bilateral donor for international family planning services. US
AID supports a wide range of family planning programs in key developing countries,
including direct services and commodities (though U.S. funds are prohibited by law
and Administration policy from paying for abortions. The FY 2000 budget requests a
total of $400 million for international family planning assistance.
Access to Comprehensive Family Planning Services by Federal Employees
You or the Vice President may refer to the fact that the FY 2000 budget will also
continue to ensure that the Federal government leads the way as a model health plan by
assuring that Federal employees and their families participating in the 300 Federal
Employees Health Benefit Program (FEHBP) have access to contraceptive coverage.
This policy, which was passed in the last Congress with the leadership of
Representative Lowey and others, provides coverage to approximately 1.2 million
women of childbearing age and reduces unwanted pregnancies and the need for
abortions by requiring most FEHB plans to offer the full range of contraceptive services.
Before this requirement, only 19% of federal health plans covered prescription
contraceptives and 10% of the plans offered no contraceptive coverage at all.
