investment in clinics providing family planning services supported 
under title X of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300 et seq.) 
(referred to in this section as ``title X clinics'').

    (b) Funding.--There is appropriated to the Office of the Secretary

    (2) Pregnancy counseling.--In the case of services provided 
 by a title X clinic that receives funding made available under 
 this section, all pregnancy counseling shall be nondirective,
