Family Planning Overseas

The House voted today to release funding for international family planning assistance. The vote was a rejection of a campaign by anti-abortion activists. They had advocated denying funds to groups that provide abortion-related services. The Senate is expected to complete congressional approval for the family planning funds. NPR's Brian Naylor has a report.
