Notes: aThe legislation is not in effect but remains part of the statutory code. bTexas operates its own state-funded family planning program; women aged 18 and older with family incomes up to 185% of the federal poverty line are eligible. cSee methodology for details on Alabama, Arkansas, and Michigan. dDoes not require sex education but requires health education that covers abstinence. eRequires sex education if the teen pregnancy rate for 15-17 year-olds is 19.5 per 1,000 or higher. |
