Prohibiting Abortion Providers from Receiving Family Planning Grants

This act aims to change how family planning grants are awarded. It restricts federal funding for entities that perform abortions, with exceptions for rape, incest, or when the woman's life is at risk. This could impact the availability of certain health services for citizens.
Key points
Entities performing abortions (with exceptions) will not receive federal family planning grants.
Exceptions include abortions due to rape, incest, or when the woman's life is in danger.
Hospitals can receive funds if they do not provide them to other non-hospital entities performing abortions (with exceptions).
Annual reports to Congress will be required, listing grant recipients and the number of abortions performed under exceptions.
