This bill, titled the "Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2025," imposes a one-year moratorium on federal funding for Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc., and its affiliates or clinics. During this period, no federal funds may be made available to these entities unless they provide a certification. This certification must affirm that Planned Parenthood affiliates and clinics will not perform, nor provide funds to any other entity that performs, an abortion during the specified timeframe. The moratorium includes specific exceptions for abortions performed in cases of rape or incest , or when a woman's life is endangered by a physical disorder, injury, or illness as certified by a physician. Should Planned Parenthood or its affiliates violate the terms of this certification, the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of Agriculture are mandated to seek repayment of any federal assistance received. Concurrently, the bill authorizes an additional $235,000,000 for the community health center program for the same one-year period, with similar restrictions on abortion funding. The legislation's findings assert that other entities, including state and county health departments and community health centers, already provide a comprehensive range of women's health services, often regardless of a person's ability to pay. It also specifies that funds no longer available to Planned Parenthood will be redirected to other eligible entities to ensure continued access to women's health care services. A rule of construction clarifies that nothing in the Act should be interpreted to reduce overall federal funding for women's health.
