HR 1465 United States House · 119th Congress

Protecting Life in Foreign Assistance Act

This bill prohibits U.S. government funds from being used to support organizations (both foreign and domestic) that provide, promote, or fund abortion services abroad, including referrals, counseling, or training related to abortions. It directly affects foreign NGOs, multilateral organizations, and domestic groups receiving U.S. aid if they perform or support such activities, even within programs funded by the U.S. government. The restriction includes all forms of financial support and co-location of abortion services with other funded programs, with exceptions only for abortions resulting from rape or incest, or when the mother's life is endangered. This policy change alters how U.S. foreign aid is allocated to ensure funds do not support abortion-related services.
