       (a) In General.--
       (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law or of this 
     Act, none of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this 
     Act for population assistance activities are authorized to be 
     available for any private, nongovernmental, or multilateral 
     organization that, directly or through a subcontractor or 
     subgrantee, performs abortions in any foreign country, except 
     where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus 
     were carried to term or in cases of forcible rape or incest.
       (2) Paragraph (1) may not be construed to apply to the 
     treatment of injuries or illnesses caused by legal or illegal 
     abortions or to assistance provided directly to the 
     government of a country.
       (b) Limitation on Lobbying Activities.--(1) Notwithstanding 
     any other provision of law or of this Act, none of the funds 
     authorized to be appropriated by this Act for population 
     assistance activities are authorized to be available for any 
     private, nongovernmental, or multilateral organization that 
     violates the laws of any foreign country concerning the 
     circumstances under which abortion is permitted, regulated, 
     or prohibited, or that engages in any activity or effort to 
     alter the laws or governmental policies of any foreign 
     country concerning the circumstances under which abortion is 
     permitted, regulated, or prohibited.

     are authorized to be available for the United National 
     Population Fund (UNFPA), unless the President certifies to 
     the appropriate congressional committees that--
       (a) the United Nations Population Fund has terminated all 
     activities in the People's Republic of China; or

     have been no abortions as the result of coercion associated 
     with the family planning policies of the national government
