What this bill would do

The ``Protecting Life and Taxpayers Act of 2025'' aims to prohibit federal funding to certain entities. Under this bill, an entity cannot receive federal funds, directly or indirectly, unless it certifies that it will not perform an abortion. Additionally, the entity must certify it will not provide funds to any other entity that performs an abortion. There are specific exceptions for cases involving rape, incest, or a physician-certified physical danger to the woman. The term "entity" is defined broadly to include those that control or are controlled by the primary entity.
