‘‘(ii) an entity if any affiliate of such 
entity is an entity described in clause (i). 
‘‘(B) EXEMPTION.—For purposes of this 
paragraph, an entity shall not be considered an 
abortion provider solely as a result of per-
forming abortions— 
‘‘(i) if the pregnancy is the result of 
an act of rape or incest, or 
‘‘(ii) in the case where a woman suf-
fers from a physical disorder, physical in-
jury, or physical illness that would, as cer-
tified by a physician, place the woman in 
danger of death unless an abortion is per-
formed, including a life-endangering phys-
ical condition caused by or arising from 
the pregnancy itself.

Secretary may deem that the term ‘abortion 
provider’ does not include a subsection (d) hos-
pital (as such term is defined in section

the name of such hospital available on the pub-
lic internet website of the Treasury.’’.
