Billionaire investment-wizard Warren Buffett is getting behind a sure-to-profit strategy: family planning. Buffett, recognizing the best investment in the future of our country is ensuring our families are stable and healthy is turning his philanthropic ambitions to helping people take power of life's most important decisions--name, when to start a family. His first stop: Iowa

Buffett, through the foundation named for his deceased wife, Susie, is funding the "Iowa Initiative to Reduce Unintended Pregnancy" which is headed up by Iowa's former first lady Christie Vilsack. Why Iowa, well it seemed rife with the most potential. According to the Iowa Initiative:

Iowa ranks 48th in the nation in making family planning services available and 39th in its public funding for those efforts. These policies cost taxpayers some $82 million dollars per year, far more than prevention efforts would cost. More than half of Iowa’s counties do not have family planning centers and 170,000 Iowa women are in need of services they cannot easily obtain.

"As a woman and a mother, I believe we have a responsibility to give all women in our state the knowledge and means to prevent unintended pregnancies. " Vilsack explained, "Access to family planning results in better lives for women, children and families and the greater Iowa community. When half of all pregnancies in Iowa are unintended, we are not doing enough for women. We find high levels of unintended pregnancies in every corner of the state, across all age ranges and all income levels. The Iowa Initiative is committed to help bringing these levels down through public education outreach."

The Initiative will educate people about contraception and make it easier to obtain family planning counseling and services that are safe, accessible and affordable. Buffett's investment will no doubt improve the lives of women and families of Iowa for generations to come.
