          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pregnancy Center Security Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to award grants on a competitive basis for upgrading the facilities of pregnancy-help organizations. The bill defines these as organizations that provide services to individuals with unintended pregnancies with the intent of encouraging the individuals to give birth; the definition in the bill excludes, however, organizations that perform or refer for abortions (or affiliates of those organizations).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Facility upgrades include installing security systems and making the facilities accessible to people with disabilities.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill prohibits the use of grant funds for abortion-related services.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
