I think this is the bill, H.R.2506. In it, I found this:

SEC. 518. None of the funds made available to carry out part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be used to pay for the performance of abortions as a method of family planning or to motivate or coerce any person to practice abortions. None of the funds made available to carry out part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be used to pay for the performance of involuntary sterilization as a method of family planning or to coerce or provide any financial incentive to any person to undergo sterilizations. None of the funds made available to carry out part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be used to pay for any biomedical research which relates in whole or in part, to methods of, or the performance of, abortions or involuntary sterilization as a means of family planning. None of the funds made available to carry out part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be obligated or expended for any country or organization if the President certifies that the use of these funds by any such country or organization would violate any of the above provisions related to abortions and involuntary sterilizations.

Does anyone check the sources, or just jump to conclusions? I am still not sure what exactly is true and what isn't, but I would think folks would look up the bill and try to find out.

I believe in education, but not in terrorism.

Therefore, I'm going to send a check to an Islamicist madrassa for "textbooks." My hands are clean.

Thank you, Huck. Seems the usual suspects have jumped to reactionary conclusions based on the reporting of a heavily-biased source.
