Prevention First 2009
The Prevention First package of bills symbolizes a commitment to the citizens of Michigan to support healthy families through commonsense prevention measures. Improving access to preventative health care should be a statewide goal. The need to ensure reliable sexual and reproductive health education and information, increase access to family planning services and help plan parenthood, healthy pregnancies and healthy families is imperative. This proposed package of legislation will protect women’s health, reduce unintended pregnancies, reduce abortion, help prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections and save scarce public health dollars.
