Pence Amendment not Just About Abortion, but About Thwarting Contraception By Sarah Posner
In the wake of the House passage of the Pence Amendment, cutting off federal family funding under Title X, the influential religious right think tank the Howard Center for Family, Religion, and Society senses an opportunity. Discussion around the Pence Amendment, the think tank argues in a press release, has singularly focused on ending abortion. Instead, it suggests, the discussion be expanded to focus on ending family planning.
In the press release, the Howard Center promotes the most recent issue of its quarterly journal, which is centered on the theme of what the Center contends are the horrific societal effects of family planning and contraception.
