Permanent Ban on Funding Abortions and Involuntary Sterilizations in Foreign Aid.

This bill permanently codifies restrictions on the use of US taxpayer funds allocated for foreign assistance and the Peace Corps. It ensures that these funds cannot be used to pay for abortions, involuntary sterilizations, or related lobbying and research activities abroad. This change makes existing temporary budget restrictions a permanent part of US law, regardless of annual appropriations debates.
