SEC. 2. PROHIBITION ON USE OF FEDERAL FUNDS FOR TRAVEL EXPENSES OF 
              INDIVIDUALS CROSSING STATE LINES FOR AN ABORTION.

    (a) In General.--No Federal funds may be obligated or expended for 
the travel expenses of any individual traveling across State lines for 
purposes of having an abortion. In this subsection, the term ``State'' 
means any of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and any territory 
or possession of the United States.
    (b) Exception.--The limitation in subsection (a) shall not apply to 
any travel expenses--
            (1) if the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or 
        incest; or
            (2) in the case where a woman suffers from a physical 
        disorder, physical injury, or physical illness, including a 
        life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from 
        the pregnancy itself, that would, as certified by a physician, 
        place the woman in danger of death unless an abortion is 
        performed.
