House Likely to Cut Poverty Legal Aid and Limit Cases
The House plans a 25 percent funding cut for the Legal Services Corporation, setting two lawyers per 10,000 eligible poor and barring abortion related cases except to save the mother’s life, plus prohibitions on rape and incest cases. Proposals also bar aid to labor unions, homosexuality, aliens, and Cuban or Haitian refugees, with further limits on class actions and school-district suits.
