Senate committee to vote on pro family teen program
A Denton bill backed by Senator Hatch would spend 30 million dollars to run 27 centers redirected to a pro family approach. It would curb teen birth control information and require parental consent for birth control access for teens under 18. The proposal aims to promote self discipline and chastity while prioritizing younger teens and adoption guidance to pregnant adolescents.

Fewer women smoke but quitters face tough habit
Government data from the 1980 National Health Interview Survey shows fewer adult women smoke, but those who do still find quitting hard. Of 8 million men and women who tried to quit, 24 percent of men succeeded versus 18 percent of women. Officials note no clear reason for the gender disparity.
