No Funds for Foreign Abortions Act

This bill would bar U.S. foreign aid from going to foreign governments that, in the prior year, used public funds for abortions, abortion referrals or promotion, coerced abortion or sterilization, or related research. It would also bar foreign aid to nongovernmental groups, international organizations, and multilateral bodies such as the World Health Organization that perform, refer for, or promote abortion, no matter where their money comes from. The rules would also cover overseas activities of U.S.-based groups, with an exception for abortions in cases of rape or incest backed by documentation. The Secretary of State would have to certify compliance, suspend funds while investigating credible reports of violations, and impose penalties such as repayment and at least three years of ineligibility.
