At the appropriate place in title IV, add the following:

SEC. 4___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT WOULD
APPROPRIATE FUNDS AND ALLOW SUCH FUNDS TO BE
USED FOR ABORTION OR CERTAIN OTHER PURPOSES.

(a) Point of Order.--
(1) In general.--In the Senate, it shall not be in order to
consider a provision in a bill, joint resolution, motion,
amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report
that would appropriate funds and fail to prohibit the use of
such funds for--
(A) except in a case described in paragraph (2)--
(i) any abortion; or
(ii) health benefits coverage that includes coverage of
abortion;

[[Page S6361]]

(B) the creation of a human embryo or embryos for research
purposes;
(C) research for which fetal tissue is obtained from an
induced abortion or derivatives of such tissue;
(D) research in which a human embryo is created or
destroyed, discarded, or put at risk of injury;
(E) research in which an embryo-like entity is created
wholly or in part from human cells or components;
(F) research in which a human embryo is intentionally
created or modified to include a heritable genetic
modification; or
(G) research using any stem cell the derivation of which
would be inconsistent with the standards described in
subparagraphs (A) through (F).
(2) Exceptions.--Paragraph (1)(A) shall not apply with
respect to an abortion--
(A) if the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or
incest; or
(B) in the case where a woman suffers from a physical
disorder, physical injury, or physical illness, including a
life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from
the pregnancy itself, that would, as certified by a
physician, place the woman in danger of death unless an
abortion is performed.
(3) Point of order sustained.--If a point of order is made
by a Senator against a provision described in paragraph (1),
and the point of order is sustained by the Chair, that
provision shall be stricken from the measure and may not be
offered as an amendment from the floor.
(b) Form of the Point of Order.--A point of order under
subsection (a)(1) may be raised by a Senator as provided in
section 313(e) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2
U.S.C. 644(e)).
(c) Conference Reports.--When the Senate is considering a
conference report on, or an amendment between the Houses in
relation to, a bill or joint resolution, upon a point of
order being made by any Senator pursuant to subsection
(a)(1), and such point of order being sustained, such
material contained in such conference report or House
amendment shall be stricken, and the Senate shall proceed to
consider the question of whether the Senate shall recede from
its amendment and concur with a further amendment, or concur
in the House amendment with a further amendment, as the case
may be, which further amendment shall consist of only that
portion of the conference report or House amendment, as the
case may be, not so stricken. Any such motion in the Senate
shall be debatable. In any case in which such point of order
is sustained against a conference report (or Senate amendment
derived from such conference report by operation of this
subsection), no further amendment shall be in order.
(d) Supermajority Waiver and Appeal.--In the Senate, this
section may be waived or suspended only by an affirmative
vote of three-fifths of the Members, duly chose and sworn. An
affirmative vote of three-fifths of Members of the Senate,
duly chosen and sworn shall be required to sustain an appeal
of the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under
this section.
