MIAMI, FL -- "The Legal Guide for Pregnant Teens in Florida" includes information on legal aspects of abortion, adoption and raising children. Other topics include getting public assistance for housing, health insurance and how to get an immigration status change.

The project was modeled after a book written by a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which printed 30,000 copies.

Brandon Hensler, director of communications for the ACLU of Florida, said the publication is the first of this type, although other state ACLU chapters have expressed interest.
