American Values Act permanently prohibits U.S. funds from being used for abortions and involuntary sterilizations.
The American Values Act permanently enacts restrictions on the use of funds for abortions and involuntary sterilizations. It amends the Peace Corps Act to prohibit funding for involuntary sterilizations, biomedical research related to abortions or sterilizations, and lobbying for or against abortion. It also amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to prohibit funding for abortions and coercive practices related to abortions. The act ensures these restrictions are permanently codified, preventing future appropriations from being used for these purposes.
