In her book Within Our Reach, Lisbeth Schorr described the first federal investment in family planning under the War on Poverty launched by President Lyndon Johnson in 1965. He demanded programs that were “demonstrably cost-effective,” and he charged the Office of Economic Opportunity’s (OEO’s) Division of Research, Planning and Program Evaluation with assessing the effectiveness of various program options for reducing the number of people in poverty.

Five OEO community projects were initially funded. By 1968 there were 159 such projects, and expansion continued with the passage of Title X of the Public Health Service Act in 1970 under President Richard Nixon, which established a network of family planning providers around the country.1 From these modest beginnings, the public (federal and state) investment in family planning services for low-income individuals had grown to an estimated $2.37 billion in fiscal year 2010 for services provided by 8,400 health centers.
