SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Protecting Life and Taxpayers Act of 
2019''.

SEC. 2. PROHIBITION ON ABORTION.

    (a) Prohibition.--No Federal funds may be provided (directly or 
indirectly, including through contract or subcontract) to an entity 
unless the entity certifies that, during the period for which such 
funds are provided, the entity will not perform, and will not provide 
any funds to any other entity that performs, an abortion.
    (b) Exception.--Subsection (a) does not apply with respect to an 
abortion where--
            (1) the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest; or
            (2) a physician certifies that the woman suffers from a 
        physical disorder, physical injury, or physical illness that 
        would place the woman in danger of death unless an abortion is 
        performed, including a life-threatening physical condition 
        caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself.
    (c) Definitions.--In this section, the term ``entity'' means the 
entire legal entity, including any entity that controls, is controlled 
by, or is under common control with such entity.
