## Summary

**Restricts U.S. foreign assistance to organizations linked to abortion activities.** This bill would bar federal funds and U.S.-financed goods from going to certain foreign and domestic nonprofits that perform, promote, supply, or fund abortion-related services outside the United States. - Foreign nonprofit and multilateral organizations would be ineligible for U.S. foreign assistance if they perform or promote abortions, provide referrals or training, furnish abortion items, or financially support entities that do those things. - U.S. nonprofit or nongovernmental organizations that receive federal funds would lose eligibility if they perform abortions, provide abortion items, mix federally funded programs with abortion services at the same site, or fail to keep a full physical and financial separation between funded programs and abortion activities. - The ban covers transfers of federal funds and goods financed with those funds, narrowing how U.S. aid and supplies may be used or routed. - Abortions resulting from rape or incest and abortions needed to save the mother’s life are excluded from the prohibition.
