S.Amdt. 2236

1. Adds Sec. __. (a) No funds appropriated under this Act may be provided to hospitals or other facilities at which partial-birth abortions are performed wherever appropriate

   Adds a section

   Inserted: Sec. __. (a) No funds appropriated under this Act may be provided to hospitals or other facilities at which partial-birth abortions are performed.

   Inserted: (b) Subsection (a) shall not apply to a partial-birth abortion that is necessary to save the life of a mother whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself.

   Inserted: (c) In this section, the term "partial-birth abortion" means an abortion in which the person performing the abortion--

   Inserted: (1) deliberately and intentionally vaginally delivers a living fetus until, in the case of a head-first presentation, the entire fetal head is outside the body of the mother, or, in the case of breech presentation, any part of the fetal trunk past the navel is outside the body of the mother, for the purpose of performing an overt act that the person knows will kill the partially delivered living fetus; and

   Inserted: (2) performs the overt act, other than completion of delivery, that kills the partially delivered living fetus.

   The amendment doesn't say where this goes; the clerk decides.
