     physical condition caused by, or arising from, the pregnancy 
     itself; and

     Service Act in fiscal year 2016 exceeded $23,000,000.
       (c) End of Prohibition.--The definition in subsection (b) 
     shall cease to apply to an entity if such entity certifies 
     that it, including its affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, 
     and clinics, will not perform, and will not provide any funds 
     to any other entity that performs, an abortion as described 
     in subsection (b)(1)(C).
