Prohibiting Title X Family Planning Grants for Abortion Providers.

This bill aims to stop federal family planning grants (Title X) from being awarded to entities that perform abortions. This change could significantly impact the funding of organizations providing reproductive health services, potentially affecting access to contraception, screenings, and other care for citizens. Exceptions are maintained for abortions resulting from rape, incest, or when the mother's life is endangered.
Key points
Entities receiving Title X family planning grants must certify they will not perform abortions or provide funds to any other entity that performs abortions.
The prohibition includes exceptions for abortions in cases of rape, incest, or when a physician certifies the procedure is necessary to save the woman's life.
Hospitals are exempt from the prohibition, provided they do not fund non-hospital entities that perform abortions (other than those covered by exceptions).
The Secretary must submit an annual report to Congress listing grant recipients and detailing the number of abortions performed under the specified exceptions.
