The Obama-Biden Transition Project posted a plan on its website called "Advancing Reproductive Rights and Health in a New Administration."
" It is signed by a coalition of 66 groups including Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the National Organization for Women and the American Civil Liberties Union.
The outline lists proposed steps for Obama's first 100 days in office including the following:
* Increase funding for Title X (which funds Planned Parenthood) to $ 700 million from the current $ 300 million
* Expand coverage of taxpayer-funded abortions under Medicaid
* Promote sex education in schools and communities at cost of $ 50 million
* Provide birth control at colleges
* Expand taxpayer-funded abortions to federal employees, military facilities, the Peace Corps and federal prisoners
* Increase funding for Title V Maternal and Child Health services to $ 850 million from $ 666 million
* Provide international abortion providers with $ 1 billion
* Increase funding for the CDC's school HIV and STD prevention programs from $ 40.2 million to $ 66.6 million
* Increase funding for substance abuse and mental health services programs for pregnant women and mothers from $ 12 million to $ 70 million
* De-fund abstinence only programs
* Re-examine Bush administration policies that block or limit women's access to emergency contraception
* Pass the Freedom of Choice Act
* Select judicial nominees who "demonstrate a commitment to justice civil rights, equal rights, individual liberties, and the fundamental constitutional right to privacy, including the right to have an abortion."
Obama is also trying to find ways to undo Bush administration policies dealing with abortion.
President Bush issued a regulation allowing health care workers to refuse to provide abortions if doing so conflicts with their personal, moral or religious beliefs – but the Obama is already seeking a way to repeal the measure.

Obama hates his black father
Answer by aaron b
Most of these are not that bad of ideas right up until it permits people that are too irresponsible to use birth control to murder the children they have created by their lack of planning. Pretty ridiculous when you look at it.

Would you sooner not have abortion, and let the parent and child be a drain on society.
Answer by Pyro
I think it's a first step in a new direction.
A great one at that.
Across the world there are issues related to personal contraception issues. Most of it is religious. Personally I believe a president like Obama has finally broken the mold that stuck religion and politics together which can mean bigger changes for the world.
With America's funding of international abortion he will lead quite a few other countries into doing it, such as; Canada, England and Australia all of whom are quite big supporters of American administration as sadly demonstrated even if for a short while in the war in Iraq.
Yet even so this will promote a more free lifestyle within the government and it's about time the laws of religion were left to moral choices rather than legal ones.

Abortion doesn't need a bailout: it's a thriving industry. One of the few still growing.
