What this bill would do

The Abortion Funding Awareness Act of 2025 requires States to report specific information regarding Medicaid payments made to abortion providers. States that make these payments using Federal funds must submit a report to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and publish it on a public State website. The report must include payment amounts, the purpose of payments, comparisons to prior years, the number of abortions performed, the gestational age of those abortions, and the methods used. The Secretary is then required to submit these reports to specific Congressional committees and publish them on a Department of Health and Human Services website. This Act also includes conforming amendments to the Social Security Act to allow for these reports.
