This bill would require certain federally funded family planning programs to give people a pamphlet with information about adoption centers when they ask about medical services or abortion services. The pamphlet would list adoption centers in the area, along with their addresses and phone numbers, and the person would also have a chance to read it. The federal health secretary would be responsible for creating, updating, and sending out these pamphlets each year. The bill also says no extra money can be used for this new requirement unless it already comes from the family planning funding program.
