VICTORY: Montana Restores Family Planning Funding
By Emily Dhatt. Thursday, April 25 2013
Montana legislators wanted to block federal family planning money from coming into the state via the Title X federal grant program, which would cut access to critical medical services for low-income Montanans. So Stephanie McDowells started a MoveOn Petition asking members of the Montana Legislature to accept the funding. The petition gathered more than 1,000 signatures, and the Legislature voted to restore Title X funding, extending coverage to more than 25,000 Montanans.
