Officials wait to ban abortion counseling
Lawence Missouri? No. The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department will keep distributing family planning information while awaiting official notice of a regulation barring abortion discussion at clinics that receive federal funds. The Supreme Court upheld the Title X rule 5 to 4, affecting 73 Kansas counties. The state disperses about $1.5 million in Title X funds. Local clinics rely on about $70,000 annually and 3,000 women used the program last year. Kansas University Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas, is not affected as it receives no Title X funds.
