Bill > S142

This bill, titled the Hyde Amendment Codification Act, aims to permanently establish into law the long-standing policy that prohibits the use of federal funds for abortions, with specific exceptions. The core provision is that no federal money, whether appropriated directly or held in trust funds, can be spent on performing an abortion or for health insurance that covers abortions. However, this prohibition would not apply in cases where the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest, or when a physician certifies that an abortion is necessary to save the woman's life due to a physical disorder, injury, or illness, including a life-endangering condition caused by the pregnancy itself.
