Falwell Amendment

The Falwell Amendment was a proposed change to U.S. law, named after Reverend Jerry Falwell, aiming to prevent federal funds from supporting organizations that promote abortion or sterilization. Essentially, it sought to restrict taxpayer dollars from funding certain health-related programs or groups that provide or advocate for these services. While it raised debates over religious and ethical considerations, it mainly focused on limiting government funding to align with specific moral perspectives on reproductive health.
