What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "End Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Providers Act," seeks to stop the use of federal funds for certain entities. It prohibits federal money from going to any entity, or its affiliates and clinics, that performs abortions, provides referrals for them, or funds other entities that perform them. There are specific exceptions for cases involving rape, incest, or a physician-certified physical condition that puts a woman's life in danger. This prohibition applies to federal statutory law adopted after the effective date unless explicitly excluded. The act takes effect 60 days after it is enacted.
