(a) In general
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no Federal funds may be made available to an entity, or to any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, or clinics, that performs abortions, provides referrals for abortion, or provides funding to other entities that perform abortions. Federal statutory law adopted after the effective date described in subsection (d) is subject to this section unless such law explicitly excludes such application by reference to this section.

(2)
a physician certifies that the woman suffers from a physical condition that would place the woman in danger of death unless an abortion is performed.

Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect any limitation contained in an appropriations Act relating to abortion.
(d) Effective date
This section shall take effect 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
