Preventing Abortion Sanctuaries Act

Preventing Abortion Sanctuaries Act

This bill prohibits the Department of Health and Human Services from providing funding to a state that permits abortions or that facilitates interstate travel for abortions.

In particular, the prohibition on funding applies to any state that

• lacks laws providing gestational protection at any stage of development;
• establishes a fund, commission, or similar entity to provide direct financial or logistical support to an individual traveling to the state to receive an abortion; or
• prohibits enforcement of another state's laws authorizing civil actions against those who receive or seek abortions, perform or induce abortions, or otherwise aid or abet such conduct.
