060701NYPOSTCOMABORT GROUP SUES GOV'T. By DEVLIN BARRETT 





June 7, 2001 -- An abortion-rights group filed a federal 
lawsuit yesterday trying to get the courts to overturn the 
Bush-administration decision to yank funding for 
abortion-counseling overseas. 
President Bush rescinded the funding just days into his term - 
reversing a policy that President Bill Clinton had begun eight 
years before. 
The New York-based Center for Reproductive Law and Policy 
filed suit in Manhattan federal court, claiming the move 
hampers its ability to promote family-planning services - 
although the center has never received government funding.
