During the Lunch & Learn at Westside Family Health Center, we talked about how public funding of family planning prevents about 1.94 million unintended pregnancies, including 400,000 teen pregnancies, resulting in 810,000 fewer abortions and saving taxpayers $4 for every $1 spent on family planning. 99% of women have used birth control at some point in our lives, but the conservative right-wing attacks on basic women's healthcare access threatens our right to choose.
