Full Bill Text
H.R. 217 would amend title X of the Public Health Service Act to prohibit family planning grants from being awarded to any entity that performs abortions, and for other purposes.
Exceptions are made for abortions where:
- the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest; or
- a physician certifies that the pregnant individual suffered from a physical disorder, injury, or illness that would place the patient in danger of death unless an abortion is performed, including a condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy.
Hospitals are exempted unless they provide funds to non-hospital entities that perform abortions.
Reporting Requirements
HHS would be required to include in an annual report:
- information on grantees who performed abortions under the exceptions; and
- a list of entities to which grant funds are made available.
According to Planned Parenthood:
Many Planned Parenthood health centers receive federal grants for family planning services through the Title X Family Planning Program, which helps all types of family planning health centers (not just Planned Parenthood) provide birth control, sex education, and other reproductive health services to low-income patients, helping to avert 1.1 million unintended pregnancies per year. [HR 217] would block Planned Parenthood health centers from receiving this funding, which would cut women off from the basic preventive health care that they currently get at those health centers.
