95 – 10

That’s the name of a new initiative being proposed by Democrats for Life. The idea is to reduce the number of abortions in America by 95% in ten years.

Policy proposals include:

• Federal Funding for Toll-Free Number/National Public Awareness Program
• Conduct a National Study & Update Abortion Data
• Federal Funding for Pregnancy Prevention Education
• Federal Funding for Abortion Counseling and Daycare on University Campuses
• Provide Accurate Information to Patients Receiving a Positive Result from an Alpha-Fetoprotein Test tests (these tests can result in false positives when the unborn child is actually healthy)
• Make Adoption Tax Credits Permanent
• Ban Pregnancy as a “Pre-Existing Condition” in the Health Care Industry
• Require pregnancy centers and women’s health centers that provide pregnancy counseling and that receive federal funding to provide adoption referral information
• Any women’s health center or clinic that provides pregnancy counseling or abortion services must provide accurate information on abortion and the adverse side effects to a woman’s health. Patients do not have to accept the materials if they do not want them
• Provide Ultrasound Equipment
• Increase Funding for Domestic Violence Programs
• Require insurance coverage of contraception approved by the Food and Drug Administration
• Fully Fund Federal WIC Program
• Parental Notification
• Provide Grants to States to Help in the Promotion and Implementation of Safe Haven Laws (i.e. laws allowing newborns to be dropped off at hospitals, etc. no questions asked)
• Require Adoption Counseling in Maternity Group Homes
• Require State Children’s Health Insurance Programs to cover pregnant women

Very little there for anyone to disagree with, I would think. See here for more information.
