What the document says
“No funds appropriated by this Act shall be available to pay for an abortion, or the administrative expenses in connection with any health plan under the Federal”
Section 613 of division E bars funds appropriated by the division from paying for an abortion, or the administrative expenses connected with a health plan under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program that provides one. Section 614 provides that section 613 does not apply where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term, or where the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest.
What the document actually says
“No funds appropriated by this Act shall be available to pay for an abortion, or the administrative expenses in connection with any health plan under the Federal”
That sentence, in plain words
No money in this part may pay for this. Nor may it pay the running costs of a health plan that covers it.
What this is about
The plans named cover federal workers. The next part says when the bar does not apply.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
