Text from the actual bill:

Provided further, That nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to alter any existing statutory prohibitions against abortion under section 104 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.

That none of the funds appropriated under this heading shall be used to pay for abortions

(c) Conditions on Availability of Funds.--Amounts made available under ``International Organizations and Programs'' for fiscal year 2002 for the UNFPA may not be made available to UNFPA unless-- (1) the UNFPA maintains amounts made available to the UNFPA under this section in an account separate from other accounts of the UNFPA; (2) the UNFPA does not commingle amounts made available to the UNFPA under this section with other sums; and (3) the UNFPA does not fund abortions.

This might make some feel better.

That was pointed out in post 27, I think, and I also did in post 90....but most bashers don't care.

You're being awfully charitable today, aren't you? :-)

Thank you for posting that text!! It does help me to feel better about. Shame on Covenant News for posting on their site such misleading information.

Good job. I found the same stuff. Interesting how many freepers were ready to jump all over the President, without bothering to look up the information. Hardly makes them a reliable source of information.

From your post #145: Provided further, That none of the funds made available in this Act nor any unobligated balances from prior appropriations may be made available to any organization or program which, as determined by the President of the United States, supports or participates in the management of a program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization: Provided further, That none of the funds made available under this heading may be used to pay for the performance of abortion as a method of family planning

This still pays for abortions. The "health of the mother" is not mentioned, but I read it between the lines...don't you?
