HHS Promoting 'Long-Acting' Contraception, 'Sterilization' in Dwindling Navajo Nation

September 27, 2013 - By Barbara Hollingsworth
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will spend $450,000 in Fiscal Year 2014 on grants to groups that will provide birth control--including "long acting" contraceptives and "sterilization"--in the Navajo Nation’s tribal lands, even though U.S. Census data shows the population there declined nearly 4 percent between 2000 and 2010.
Priority will be given to Native American "individuals from low-income families."
“Successful applicants will include information in the application that clearly identifies the clinical services provided, including the specific methods of contraception to be offered at the grantee and/or sub-recipient sites,” said the department’s solicitation for proposals to receive this grant money. - See more at:
