HB 889 would prohibit the Department of Health and Hospitals from entering into any contract with, or making any grant to, an entity that performs elective abortions or maintains, owns, or operates a facility where such abortions are performed.
The bill also provides for prioritization of public funds for family planning services (for those that do not perform elective abortions).
