The article "Tittle X and Why It Matters" is a good article. The writer explains what Tittle X is and how will it impact people's life.
I agree with my classmate that Tittle X is very important, and stop funding for Tittle X can lead to some serious consequences. Looking at the record of how it has been helping women around the country:
"For one thing, the affordable birth control that Title X provides helps prevent 1 million unintended pregnancies each year. That aligns with what we know about publicly funded birth control services in general — these services helped women avoid 1.9 million unintended pregnancies in 2014.
By giving women more control over if and when they have children, Title X allows women to have more control over their lives — including their health, careers, and economic security.
Title X has undoubtedly saved women’s lives with early detection of cancer through its affordable Pap tests and breast exams.
Title X helps people catch STIs and avert a host of other health issues." (www.plannedparenthoodaction.org)
Apparently, the population which will be affected the most are women who live below 150% the federal poverty level. Congress is made up of most white wealthy men. In the result, they underestimate the importance of Tittle X, and will always try to defund this program. Even there are women senators in the Congress, their voices are too little to win this argument. After many years of history, women's lives in the United States are again ignored and be decided by the men.
"@VP is on his way to break a tie on #TitleX funding. Just in case we didn't already have enough men making
decisions on women's health" -
