The hundred million dollar misunderstanding.
An Alan Guttmacher Institute survey finds that a total of $215 million was spent on family planning clinic programs in 1976--$155 million from DHEW. DHEW estimates that it spent about $249 million. But the DHEW estimate includes funds for sterilizations, abortions, social work, information and private physician services.
