## Summary

**Authorizes U.S. foreign assistance funds for abortion services** as part of comprehensive reproductive and maternal health care, including training and equipment. The bill would supersede a restriction in Section 104 of the Foreign Assistance Act and aims to expand safe abortion access to reduce unsafe abortions and support maternal health. - Families and patients in recipient countries: People could gain greater access to safe abortion when it is funded as part of broader reproductive care, which the bill links to improved health and economic outcomes. - Governments and service providers: Foreign governments, clinics, and health providers could receive U.S. funds for abortion services, training, commodities, and equipment under programs carried out under this part of the Act. - U.S. foreign assistance law and programs: The bill inserts a new "notwithstanding" authority into Section 104 to permit these uses of funds even if other laws or policies would otherwise restrict them, effectively expanding permissible uses of funds available under the Foreign Assistance Act.
