Federal Funding Ban for Abortion-Performing Entities

This bill aims to stop federal money from going to organizations that perform abortions or fund other entities that do. This could mean some health services might lose financial support, potentially affecting their availability to citizens. However, there are exceptions for cases of rape, incest, or when the woman's life is in danger.
Key points
Federal funds will be prohibited for entities that perform abortions.
Exceptions apply for abortions resulting from rape, incest, or to save the woman's life.
Hospitals can receive funds as long as they do not fund other non-hospital entities that perform abortions (with the stated exceptions).
