This bill would prohibit the federal government from awarding Title X family planning grants to any organization that performs abortions or funds other entities that perform abortions. Title X grants currently support family planning services like contraception, cancer screenings, and STI testing at clinics across the country. The bill includes narrow exceptions allowing abortions in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother's life is in danger, and it exempts hospitals as long as they do not fund non-hospital abortion providers. The legislation would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to submit annual reports to Congress listing all Title X grant recipients and detailing the number of abortions performed under the permitted exceptions. The reporting requirement begins within 60 days of the bill's enactment and continues annually thereafter.
