The bill would change the Foreign Assistance Act to allow federal foreign assistance funds to pay for comprehensive reproductive health care, including abortion services, training, and equipment. It would remove an existing restriction on using these funds for abortion services. The bill was referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
If enacted, the bill would let U.S. foreign assistance funds support abortion care and related training and equipment. It does not set out direct services for people in the United States.
The bill does not state a total cost or provide a specific amount of funding. It would allow funds made available under the relevant part of the Foreign Assistance Act to be used for these services.
The bill's findings say that safe abortion is part of reproductive health care and that access to care can help prevent unsafe abortions and related deaths. The bill also states that U.S. foreign assistance should support family planning and safe abortion services.
