What this changes
Amends existing law
Law today: Title V of the Social Security Act currently governs federal grants for family planning service projects and programs. The bill does not specify what assurances or disclosures are currently required.
If passed: The bill would require that family planning service projects receiving federal funds distribute pamphlets with adoption center contact information to clients. For Christian families, this means women seeking contraception, STI testing, or related services would receive information about adoption alternatives.
