Stupak Anti Abortion Amendment

(a) IN GENERAL.—No funds authorized or
appropriated by this Act (or an amendment
made by this Act) may be used to pay for any
abortion or to cover any part of the costs of
any health plan that includes coverage of
abortion, except in the case where a woman
suffers from a physical disorder, physical injury,
or physical illness that would, as certified
by a physician, place the woman in
danger of death unless an abortion is performed,
including a life-endangering physical
condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy
itself, or unless the pregnancy is the
result of an act of rape or incest.
(b) OPTION TO PURCHASE SEPARATE SUPPLEMENTAL
COVERAGE OR PLAN.—Nothing in this
section shall be construed as prohibiting any
nonfederal entity (including an individual or
a State or local government) from purchasing
separate supplemental coverage for
abortions for which funding is prohibited
under this section, or a plan that includes
such abortions, so long as—
(1) such coverage or plan is paid for entirely
using only funds not authorized or appropriated
by this Act; and
(2) such coverage or plan is not purchased
using—
(A) individual premium payments required
for a Exchange-participating health benefits
plan towards which an affordability credit is
applied; or
(B) other nonfederal funds required to receive
a federal payment, including a State’s
or locality’s contribution of Medicaid matching
funds.
(c) OPTION TO OFFER SEPARATE SUPPLEMENTAL
COVERAGE OR PLAN.—Notwithstanding
section 303(b), nothing in this section
shall restrict any nonfederal QHBP offering
entity from offering separate supplemental
coverage for abortions for which
funding is prohibited under this section, or a
plan that includes such abortions, so long
as—
(1) premiums for such separate supplemental
coverage or plan are paid for entirely
with funds not authorized or appropriated by
this Act;
(2) administrative costs and all services offered
through such supplemental coverage or
plan are paid for using only premiums collected
for such coverage or plan; and
(3) any nonfederal QHBP offering entity
that offers an Exchange-participating health
benefits plan that includes coverage for
abortions for which funding is prohibited
under this section also offers an Exchange participating
health benefits plan that is
identical in every respect except that it does
not cover abortions for which funding is prohibited
under this section.
