...across the USA in cities where it would be popular to victimize poor women there are decisions like this being made.
Women don't need the political backlash. They need the freedom to handle the responsibilities of relationships and family. Raising a family is not a political event.
The IUD (click here) is the most inexpensive long-term and reversible form of birth control you can get. Unlike other forms of birth control, the IUD only costs money in the beginning. The cost for the medical exam, the IUD, the insertion of the IUD, and follow-up visits to your health care provider can range from $500 to $1,000. That cost pays for protection that can last from 5 to 12 years, depending on which IUD you choose. In general, the Mirena IUD costs more than the ParaGard.

County to reconsider family planning grant (click title to entry - thank you)

The New Hanover County Board of Commissioners at its April 2 meeting will reconsider the county Health Department's request to use state funding for family planning supplies, which suddenly turned controversial this week after the board refused the funds.
Chairman Ted Davis Jr., in an email sent Wednesday afternoon to county officials, instructed the county manager to schedule a discussion and public hearing about the health department's request on the agenda for the April 2 meeting, which begins at 6 p.m..
The board voted unanimously Monday to refuse $8,899 in state bonus funding for the health department, which planned to use the money to buy intrauterine devices (IUDs) – a form of birth control inserted directly into a woman's uterus.
It isn't as though less than $9000 is flooding the market in Wilmington, NC. The devices are not inexpensive to purchase, but, they are far less expensive to use than 'the pill.' The IUD is another 'imagineering' abortion measure by the political Right Wing Political sect. IUDs prevent implantation, so if abortion is defined as a lack of viable implantation, then tubal pregnancies are abortions, too.

From "The American Pregnancy Association:"
How effective is an intrauterine device? (click here)
The intrauterine system possesses a failure rate of less than 1%. This means that fewer than one out of every 100 IUD users will become pregnant during the first year of use. You should take a pregnancy test if you are experiencing any pregnancy symptoms.

So I sat down and wrote to him. This is the letter I sent him: (click here)
Dear Governor Romney,
I don't ordinarily write letters to politicians. We've never met. I'm a single mom living in Florida, and you have a pretty full plate.
My teenage daughters are on Spring Break this week, and I want to spend all the time I can with them. But first I'm reaching out to you because I am so troubled by comments you made this week. I was surprised and alarmed to see video of you saying, "Planned Parenthood, we're going to get rid of that," during a discussion about the federal budget.
Governor Romney, Planned Parenthood saved my life. I know what it would mean to "get rid of" Planned Parenthood....
