Here's what to say:
- Family planning saves lives. This cut would result in 12,000 more maternal deaths and 87,000 more infant deaths.
- Family planning is cost-effective. It costs about $2/year to provide a woman with family planning, but the direct and indirect benefits are countless. Women's economic contributions are critical for economic stability in a country.
- Family planning is an issue people of faith care about. The United Methodist Church has an historic, strong stance in support of women's health and family planning.
