Restricting Funds for Organizations Linked to Abortion Abroad
This bill aims to restrict access to U.S. federal funds for both foreign and domestic organizations that perform or promote abortions outside the United States. This means these organizations will not receive financial support from the U.S. government, potentially impacting the availability of certain health services in other countries.
Key points
Prohibits funding for foreign non-governmental organizations that perform or promote abortions, including through referrals, counseling, lobbying, or training.
Prohibits funding for domestic non-governmental organizations that perform abortions or fail to maintain complete physical and financial separation from abortion-related activities in federally funded programs.
The goal is to standardize and codify a policy that has been inconsistently applied across presidential administrations.
