At the same time my niece was becoming "viable" ... other babies of the same age were being killed as an inconvenience.....

Title X funding is not about abortions.
It is to provide access to womens health care and family planning education and counseling.

As an aside - I think if more of us researched Margaret Sanger and the roots of PPH, I'd hope your findings would leave you disgusted. She was an unapologetic racist, eugenicist, and Fabian socialist. But that may be more than OK with some of you. It's all out there if you care to look it up. A monstrously vile human being]

U.S. history is full of racists, including past presidents who were slave owners and considered Blacks to be inferior or the fact that the Constitution counted slaves (Blacks) as 3/5 of a person.
The millions of women, particularly minority women, who utilize clinics that have Title X funding for non-abortion services, have not expressed concern or disgust about Margaret Sanger's background.
The disgust comes from those who are anti-choice and want to limit womens access to a Constitutionally guaranteed right by defunding these clinics completely.
