Time's article for reference http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1870575,00.html

Sorry, I can't find a summary of the package or the full bill...

So a lot of the bill covers for family planning clinics and programs, especially for contraceptives and sexual education for everyone (among many related things). All there has been is attacks on it because it relates to abortion, and then more attacks for other reasons like ACORN, at least that I've seen.

Mostly by the Conservative Right, it seems.

At least for the safe-sex stimulus, if nothing else, what is everyone's thoughts on this bill? Support? Hesitant?

I say- that's 'bout 'damned time a president is finally spending money on US, the American people, and not some big wigs that stuff it away! heart

When will wall-street finally figure out that the average working man is the one making the whole country run and not some overpaid CEO?

My major regret reading these news is that there's so much whining/opposition about Obama's plan in comparison to none when Bush bailed banks out late last year. It's not like I'm being illogical, but I'm getting rather fed up with conservatives after 8 years of them fooling around. We're seeing that bank bail out money getting abused right under our eyes right now, infact.

We need good jobs for people, homes for people, and to relate to the whole pro-choice thing... family planning means more prosperity for the nation as a whole who isn't going to get bogged down in excess babies and the poverty to boot.

I really think it'll help. The fact that Obama sees the value of the middle class and the working person, rather than the value of the rich and the wealthy.

Unfortunately, for the year 2009, the government is still funding abstinence-only education.
(Make sure you check out the link within the link that leads to the letter to President Obama to make sure this doesn't happen again in 2010.)
