        physical disorder, physical injury, or physical illness that

        performed, including a life-threatening physical condition 
        caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself.
    ``(c) Hospitals.--Subsection (a) does not apply with respect to a

hospital entity that performs an abortion (other than an abortion 
described in subsection (b)).
    ``(d) Annual Report.--Not later than 60 days after the date of the

                subsection (b)(2);
            ``(3) a statement of the date of the latest certification 
        under subsection (a) for each entity receiving a grant under

        including any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is 
        under common control with such entity.
            ``(2) The term `hospital' has the meaning given to such 
        term in section 1861(e) of the Social Security Act.''.
