A bill to amend title X of the Public Health Service Act to prohibit family planning grants from being awarded to any entity that performs abortions. 1/22/2007--Introduced.

Excludes hospitals from such provisions as long as the hospital does not subgrant to a non-hospital entity that performs abortions. Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to submit to Congress a list of grantees who perform abortions, regardless of how such abortions are funded.[...]
