The state was complying with a human rights commission ruling that Connecticut was violating anti-discrimination laws by funding the Scouts, who have barred homosexuals from acting as troop leaders.  https://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20020729/ap_wo_en_po/us_boy_scouts_gays_2   ABORTION INFORMATION BROCHURE DRAWS CRITICS  Pro-life and pro-abortion critics alike are criticizing a draft brochure for Alabama women considering an abortion. The booklet is required by the state’s new “Woman’s Right to Know Act,” obliging health authorities to inform women of alternatives to abortion at least 24 hours beforehand—including information clarifying what happens in an abortion, abortion risks, fetal development, etc. The law also requires the patient to see the results of an ultrasound and to be told of the probable anatomical and physiological characteristics of her child in the womb. Some pro-lifers complained that the brochure—which would be considered tremendous progress anywhere else—does not say enough about the effects of abortion on a woman’s physical and psychological health.  https://www.ledger-enquirer.com/mld/ledgerenquirer/news/local/3759757.htm
