Wide of Kansas State Capitol BuildingANNOTATION: Critics say the efforts fall short of what's necessary.STORYLINE:The U.S. abortion debate is shifting to funding as states take control of policy making. Liberal cities and states are funding efforts to provide access to abortion, while states led by Republicans are seeking new ways to financially support centers that discourage it. Just months after Kansas voters affirmed abortion rights in an August vote, the state's Republican-controlled Legislature is considering millions of dollars in state funds for such centers and millions more in income tax credits to their donors. Supporters say the effort to financially support the centers shows the anti-abortion movement is facing women's and families' social and financial needs. Critics say the efforts fall short of what's necessary.AP video shot by John Hanna===========================================================Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com(ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
