Federal funds may be made available to an entity, or to any of its

other entities that perform abortions. Federal statutory law adopted
after the effective date described in subsection (d) is subject to this

physical condition that would place the woman in danger of
death unless an abortion is performed.

construed to affect any limitation contained in an appropriations Act
relating to abortion.
(d) Effective Date.--This section shall take effect 60 days after
the date of enactment of this Act.
