Guidance files (dossiers-guides) are intended for physicians practicing in the department; in public and private hospital establishments; in family planning and family education centers; in establishments providing family information, advice, or education; in social services; and in other agencies approved by French departmental authorities responsible for health and welfare matters. The Annex sets out, on the one hand, conditions for voluntary termination of pregnancy (the legislation on voluntary termination of pregnancy, procedures to be followed, medical data, consultations following voluntary termination of pregnancy and contraception, and the costs of termination of pregnancy) and, on the other, the availability of assistance for women deciding to carry their pregnancy to term.
The plaintiffs were family planning (FP) services and physicians who sought a preliminary injunction against enforcement of regulations promulgated by the Secretary of Health and Human Services of the US. The regulations prohibited counseling and referral for abortion services by FP services that receive funds under Title X of the Public Health Services Act. The Court held that the regulations exceeded the Secretary's authority, since nothing in Title X or legislative history relating to its enactment indicated that Congress intended to prohibit FP services from offering information with respect to abortions. The Court also ruled that the regulations violated a woman's Fifth Amendment liberty interest in choosing to have an abortion, her First Amendment right to receive necessary information to exercise her liberty interest, and a physician's First Amendment right to disseminate necessary information to patients. The Court granted the request for a preliminary injunction. On 15 June 1988, the same court granted the plaintiffs' request for a permanent injunction against enforcement of the regulations. On 3 March 1988, the US District Court, D. Massachusetts, also enjoined enforcement of the regulations (Commonwealth of Massachusetts vs. Bowen [679 F.Supp. 137]). On 30 June 1988, however, the US District Court, S.D. New York, rejected a challenge to the regulations, ruling that the Secretary did not exceed his authority and that the regulations were not unconstitutional (State of New York vs. Bowen [690 F.Supp. 1261]).
This Hubei, China, Circular, issued near the end of 1988, provides the following: "The population growth situation in our country is grim. Since 1986, the natural population growth rate has risen continuously. To draw the prompt attention of the whole party and the entire people to the issue of our population, all localities must seriously unfold the activities of publicizing family planning (FP) this winter and next spring, in coordination with education in current affairs. It is necessary to publicize FP in an all-around way and with accuracy, and the activities of publicizing must be carried out effectively in a solid and deep-going way. In the rural areas, stress must be placed on areas where FP work is not carried out well and where there is a prevailing tendency toward early marriage, early child-bearing, and extra-budgetary births. In cities, publicity and education must be conducted especially among the transient population, individual households, and jobless households. During the period of publicity, large-scale street-corner publicity activities must be carried out in cities and towns so as to create strong public opinion and to combine the endeavor to publicize current affairs and policies with the effort to popularize knowledge about contraception and birth-control, to execute measures of contraception and birth control, and to establish FP associations in the countryside."
