This bill would stop federal taxpayer money from going to organizations that perform abortions, refer people for abortions, or give money to other groups that perform abortions. It would also block funding for those groups’ related affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, and clinics. The bill allows two exceptions: when the pregnancy is caused by rape or incest, or when a doctor says the pregnant person’s life would be in danger without the abortion. It would take effect 60 days after it becomes law.
- Federal funds could not be given to an entity, or its related organizations, if it performs abortions, gives abortion referrals, or funds other abortion providers.
- The ban would also apply to affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, and clinics connected to those entities.
- The funding ban would not apply in cases of rape, incest, or when an abortion is needed to prevent death.
- The bill says it does not change any other abortion limits already included in spending laws.
