What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act," seeks to amend title X of the Public Health Service Act. It would prohibit the Secretary from providing assistance under this title to any entity that performs abortions. To receive assistance, an entity must certify that it will not perform abortions or provide funds to other entities that perform them. Exceptions are made for abortions resulting from rape or incest, or when a physician certifies a life-threatening physical condition. Hospitals are also exempt from this prohibition as long as they do not fund non-hospital entities that perform abortions. Finally, the Secretary is required to submit annual reports to Congress regarding these entities and any exceptions used.

  • Does this make abortion easier to get?-7

    The bill prohibits Title X assistance to entities that perform abortions, which limits the resources available to such providers.

  • Would women be better off under this?-6

    The bill restricts federal support for entities that provide abortion services, which can limit women's reproductive healthcare options.

  • Does this narrow the gap between how men and women are treated?-5

    The restriction on reproductive health service providers may disproportionately affect women's autonomy and access to healthcare.
