                                 A BILL


 
  To prohibit the use of Federal funds for abortions except where the 
                life of the mother would be endangered.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the Congress finds that--
            (1) scientific evidence demonstrates that abortion takes 
        the life of an unborn child who is a living human being;
            (2) a right to abortion is not secured by the Constitution 
        of the United States; and
            (3) in Roe versus Wade (410 U.S. 113) and Doe versus Bolton 
        (410 U.S. 179), the Supreme Court erred in not recognizing the 
        humanity of the unborn child and the compelling interest of the 
        several States to protect the life of each person before birth.
    Sec. 2. No funds appropriated by Congress shall be used to perform 
abortions except where the life of the mother would be endangered if 
the fetus were carried to term.
