One important thing the Title X funds allow Unity to do is to have all the various forms of contraception on hand for patients on the spot.
Also...
Only 5 percent of Title X-supported clinic clients came only for contraceptives; nearly 9 in 10 obtained preventive gynecologic care, and more than half received services related to sexually transmitted or reproductive tract infections.
Of the 7,000 or so family planning clinics nationwide, 4,500 receive Title X funding. About 60 percent of the clinics receiving the funding are operated by state, county or local health departments; 14 percent are operated by Planned Parenthood. The rest are run by a "variety of other types of agencies."
And the great news is that even though a portion of the funds go to Planned Parenthood, not one dime of it can be used toward abortions. :)
