On the recordSeptember 4, 1997
Quite simply, our amendment will ensure that U.S. tax dollars are not allocated to foreign nongovernmental organizations for international family planning programs unless they agree to, No. 1, not violate the laws of other countries with respect to abortion, No. 2, not wage campaigns to alter a country's laws on abortion except to oppose coercive abortion practices and, thirdly and finally, not perform abortions except to save the mother's life or in cases of rape or incest. Our amendment is necessary to close a loophole that allows U.S. tax dollars to subsidize organizations which work to increase the availability of abortions around the world.
