Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act (CIANA): passage

To prevent the transportation of minors in circumvention of certain laws relating to abortion, and for other purposes.

Stem cell research Enhancement Act

H.R. 810 is a bill that would overturn the President's pro-life policy and order federal funding of such research.  The bill would require funding of human embryonic stem cells taken "from human embryos that have been donated from in vitro fertilization clinics, were created for the purposes of fertility treatment, and were in excess of the clinical need of the individuals seeking such treatment," if "it was determined that the embryos would never be implanted in a woman and would otherwise be discarded."

Abortion in military medical facilities

Current law prohibits the use of U.S. military medical facilities for abortion, except to save the life of the mother, or in cases of rape or incest. During consideration of the Fiscal Year 2006 Defense Authorization bill (H.R. 1815), Congresswoman Susan Davis (D-Ca.) offered an amendment to repeal this ban as applied to overseas facilities.

Coercive abortion / United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA does not currently receive funding from the U.S. government, because the UNFPA's support for China's population control program -- which relies heavily upon coerced abortions -- violates a U.S. law known as the Kemp-Kasten Anti-Coercion Amendment.  During consideration of a bill (H.R. 2862) making appropriations for the Department of State and certain other federal agencies for Fiscal Year 2006, pro-abortion Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) offered an amendment to prohibit enforcement of "any provision of law that prohibits or restricts funding for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)."
