Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This bill amends Title X of the Public Health Service Act to bar Title X grants to any entity that performs abortions or provides funds to entities that perform abortions. It creates limited exceptions for rape, incest, and life‑threatening physical conditions certified by a physician.
Progressives emphasize access loss; conservatives emphasize stopping taxpayer-funded abortion.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a clearly focused substantive amendment to Title X that combines a funding eligibility prohibition with annual reporting requirements; it specifies exceptions and attempts to limit circumvention by addressing affiliate entities and downstream funding.
