SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Focus on Family Health Worldwide Act 
of 2005''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Since 1965, the people and Government of the United 
        States have supported international voluntary family planning 
        programs, increasing the use of modern contraceptives in the 
        developing world from fewer than 10 percent of couples in 1965 
        to more than 40 percent of couples today.
            (2) United States funding for international family planning 
        is today providing services to 20 million couples in the 
        world's poorest countries, contributing to family well-being by 
        improving maternal health, reducing maternal and infant deaths, 
        preventing abortions, and improving the lives of millions of 
        families.
            (3) The United States spends on average three cents per 
        American per week for international family planning programs.
            (4) In the developing world, the use of modern 
        contraceptives reduces unintended pregnancies and the 
        probability that a woman will have an abortion by 85 percent.
            (5) President George W. Bush has stated that one of the 
        best ways to prevent abortion is by providing quality voluntary 
        family planning programs.
            (6) In developing countries at least 120 million married 
        couples who would like to postpone their next pregnancy, or 
        have no more children, do not have access to or are not using 
        modern contraception.
            (7) In sub-Saharan Africa, 46 percent of women who desire 
        to delay or end childbearing remain without access to voluntary 
        family planning and at risk of unintended pregnancy.
            (8) Each year more than 525,000 women die from causes 
        related to pregnancy and childbirth with 99 percent of these 
        deaths occurring in developing countries. An additional eight 
        million women each year suffer serious health complications 
        from pregnancy and childbirth.
            (9) A lack of birth spacing resulting in birth intervals of 
        9 to 14 months increases the risk of maternal death by 250 
        percent.
            (10) Birth spacing of at least 36 months is associated with 
        the lowest mortality risk for infants and children under five 
        years of age.
            (11) Approximately 10.8 million children under the age of 
        five die each year, more than 30,000 every day, frequently from 
        low birth-weight or from causes related to complications in the 
        mother's pregnancy.
            (12) Providing access to modern contraception in less 
        developed countries could prevent 1.4 million infant deaths and 
        142,000 maternal deaths annually.
            (13) Linking family planning programs with HIV/AIDS 
        prevention, care, and treatment programs helps to meet the 
        multiple health needs of couples while effectively using scarce 
        financial and human resources.
            (14) For HIV-positive women, family planning is the most 
        efficacious and cost-effective intervention to prevent 
        unintended pregnancies, decrease the risk of maternal death, 
        and avoid the transmission of HIV from mother-to-child, 
        premature birth, low birth weight, or infant death.
            (15) Rapid population growth over-stresses vital resources, 
        such as water, agricultural land, forests, and wildlife, 
        contributing to extreme poverty, infectious disease, limited 
        access to education, environmental destruction, food 
        insecurity, and resultant malnutrition.
            (16) Malnutrition in children is a contributing factor to 
        more than one-half of all child mortality, and malnutrition in 
        mothers account for a substantial proportion of neonatal 
        mortality.
            (17) United States-funded family planning programs have 
        been successfully linked with the conservation of natural 
        resources to ease growing population pressures, improve food 
        security, and keep families healthy and communities 
        economically viable.
            (18) Between 2005 and 2050, if family planning needs remain 
        unmet, the population is expected to grow by more than 300 
        percent in the developing countries of Afghanistan, Burkina 
        Faso, Burundi, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the 
        Republic of the Congo, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, the 
        Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, and Uganda.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that it should be a United States 
policy objective to--
            (1) partner with developing countries to expand access to 
        voluntary family planning programs and the supply of modern 
        contraceptives in order to--
                    (A) meet growing demand to allow couples to achieve 
                their desired family size;
                    (B) reduce maternal and child mortality;
                    (C) reduce unintended pregnancies and resulting 
                abortions;
                    (D) reduce the incidence of HIV transmission from 
                mother-to-child and extend the lives of HIV-positive 
                women thus reducing the number of orphaned children;
                    (E) conserve vital natural resources, including 
                water, agricultural land, and forested lands;
                    (F) improve food security; and
                    (G) enhance opportunities for lasting social and 
                economic development; and
            (2) strengthen public heath initiatives worldwide by 
        provide training, research, and services for a wide variety of 
        modern contraceptives and family planning methods that are 
        designed and implemented based on--
                    (A) community participation;
                    (B) the needs and values of beneficiaries; and
                    (C) adherence to the principles of voluntary 
                participation and informed consent.
