At the appropriate place, insert the following:

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no Federal

receipt of such funds and ending on the date such funds are
exhausted, the entity will not perform, and will not provide
any funds to any other entity that performs, an abortion

endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or
physical injury, including a life-endangering physical
condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself, but
not including psychological or emotional conditions.
