RE: OPPOSITION TO CHANGE IN REGULATIONS-FAMILY PLANNING GRANT
TO THE OAKLAND CO UNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, Oakland County operates a family planning program noted for its quality
and responsiveness to the needs of its residents; and
WHEREAS, sexual ly active minors constitute one of the most high-risk sectors of
our population; and
WHEREAS, this sector is in need of and relates to confidential, low-cost family
planning services; and
WHEREAS, any barrier to that confidential service will reduce the number of clients
seeking this service and increase the risk of pregnancy; and
WHEREAS, such resulting pregnancies will lead to an increase in the abortion rate,
an increase in the incidence of child abuse and an increase in the cost of governmental support
through health and welfare payments; and
WHEREAS, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, on Case
No 72-1056, ruled that no constitutional right was infringed upon by the current practice
of family planning programs.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Beard of Commissioners
supports the continuance of current family planning program practice and opposes the proposed
rule change that will require federally funded Family Planning Programs to notify the parents
or guardians of unemancipated minors when prescription drugs or devices are provided.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to
Richard S. Schweiker, Secretary of the Health and Human Services Department, Oakland
County's Congressional Delegation and Oakland County's Legislative Agent.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Health and Hunan Resources Committee, I
move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
