87, Item 67, following line 90 by inserting the following language:
"From the above appropriation for Medical Services (Fund 0403,
Activity 189) no funds shall be used to perform abortions if the
probable gestation age of the unborn child has been determined to
be 20 weeks or more or, if earlier, after the unborn child has
reached the stage of development which accepted medical science has
determined to be the earliest that the fetus can experience pain,
unless the attending physician and two consulting physicians
certify that the abortion is necessary in their best clinical
judgment to preserve the life or health of the pregnant woman or to
avert serious risk of substantial physical impairment of a major
bodily function of the pregnant woman."
