Planning pregnancies Birth control decision aids Medicaid ...

...Critics, however, cite the fact that birth control does not always succeed and say the decision will waste money that could be better utilized by providing health care for low-income women and their children.But we see great benefit in using Medicaid funds to help make sure that all children are wanted.

An unplanned pregnancy often creates both emotional and financial pressures.

These not only can affect the health of a mother-to-be and the child she is carrying, but can result in that child being raised in a home where he or she really is not wanted.

Such children often become the victims of abuse and/or neglect.As Gov.

Jennifer Granholm pointed out in a statement, "If all pregnancies were intended, the state would see significant reductions in infant mortality, child abuse, child neglect and abortion."Declines in those statistics would translate into stronger and healthier families, and that is good for everyone in Michigan.
