This section establishes a prohibition on providing Title X family planning grants to any entity unless the entity certifies that it will not perform abortions or provide funds to any other entity that performs abortions during the grant period. (As background, Title X provides federal grants for voluntary family planning services, including contraceptives and reproductive health care, to public and nonprofit entities serving low-income and uninsured individuals.) The prohibition does not apply to abortions resulting from rape or incest, or where a physician certifies that the woman faces a life-threatening physical condition; it also does not apply to hospitals that do not fund non-hospital abortion providers (other than under those exceptions). This section further requires the Secretary, beginning 60 days after enactment and annually thereafter, to report to Congress on (1) all Title X grantees, (2) for grantees performing excepted abortions, the total number and breakdowns by rape, incest, and life-threatening condition, (3) dates of grantees' latest certifications, and (4) any subentities funded by grantees; and defines "entity" to include affiliates under common control.
