       Sec. 564. (a) In General.--
       (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act or 
     other law, none of the funds appropriated by this Act for 
     population assistance activities may be made available for 
     any private, nongovernmental, or multilateral organization 
     until the organization certifies that it does not now, and 
     will not during the period for which the funds are made 
     available, directly or through a subcontractor or sub-
     grantee, perform abortions in any foreign country, except 
     where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus 
     were carried to term or in cases of forcible rape or incest.
       (2) Paragraph (1) may not be construed to apply to the 
     treatment of injuries or illnesses caused by legal or illegal 
     abortions or to assistance provided directly to the 
     government of a country.
       (b) Lobbying Activities.--
       (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act or 
     other law, none of the funds appropriated by this Act for 
     population assistance activities may be made available for 
     any private, nongovernmental, or multilateral organization 
     until the organization certifies that it does not now, and 
     will not during the period for which the funds are made 
     available, violate the laws of any foreign country concerning 
     the circumstances under which abortion is permitted, 
     regulated, or prohibited, or engage in any activity or effort 
     to alter the laws or governmental policies of any foreign 
     country concerning the circumstances under which abortion is 
     permitted, regulated, or prohibited.
       (2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to activities in 
     opposition to coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization.
       (c) Coercive Population Control Methods.--Notwithstanding 
     any other provision of this Act or other law, none of the 
     funds appropriated by this Act may be made available for the 
     United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), unless the President 
     certifies to the appropriate congressional committees that 
     (1) the United Nations Population Fund has terminated all 
     activities in the
      People's Republic of China; or (2) during the 12 months 
     preceding such certification, there have been no abortions 
     as the result of coercion associated with the family 
     planning policies of the national government or other 
     governmental entities within the People's Republic of 
     China. As used in this section the term ``coercion'' 
     includes physical duress or abuse, destruction or 
     confiscation of property, loss of means of livelihood, or 
     severe psychological pressure.
