Sponsored By: Representative Foxx, Virginia [R-NC-5]
Introduced
Summary
This bill would bar Title X family planning funds from going to any entity that performs abortions. It would allow narrow exceptions for abortions resulting from rape or incest and for pregnancies a physician certifies as life-threatening, and it would exempt hospitals only if they do not pass funds to non-hospital entities that perform abortions.
Show full summary
- Title X providers: Grantees would have to certify they will not perform abortions or give funds to entities that do. The Secretary of Health and Human Services could deny or withdraw Title X assistance for failure to certify.
- Hospitals: Hospitals could still receive Title X funds so long as they do not provide funds to non-hospital entities that perform abortions, subject to the rape/incest and physician-certified life-threatening exceptions.
- Congressional reporting: The bill would require a report to Congress within 60 days and then annually listing Title X recipients, each recipient's certification date, affiliates that receive funds, and counts of abortions done under the allowed exceptions broken down by rape, incest, and physician certification.

Limits Title X funds to providers
If enacted, this bill would block Title X family-planning grants to any organization that performs abortions. Organizations would need to certify they do not perform abortions and will not give Title X funds to other entities that do. The bill would allow abortions only for rape, incest, or when a physician certifies the pregnancy threatens the woman's life. Hospitals could receive Title X funds only if they do not, during the funding period, give funds to non-hospital abortion providers except for those exceptions. The Secretary could deny Title X assistance to any group that fails to certify. The bill would require a report to Congress within 60 days of enactment and then every year. Reports would list Title X grant recipients, each recipient's latest certification date, entities the recipient funds, and counts of abortions performed under the exceptions (total and by rape, incest, and physician certification). The bill defines "entity" to include the whole legal organization and its affiliates, and it references the Social Security Act definition of "hospital." If passed, this could reduce local access to subsidized family-planning and raise out-of-pocket costs or travel for low-income and uninsured people.
