Protecting Life and Taxpayers Act of 2025

United States119th CongressHR-272House of Representatives
Updated: Jan 9, 2025

Summary

This bill seeks to prohibit the provision of federal funds, directly or indirectly, to any entity that performs abortions or provides funding to other entities that perform abortions. To qualify for federal funding, an entity would be required to certify that it will not engage in such activities during the funding period, with the term "entity" encompassing the entire legal organization and its affiliates. However, the legislation includes specific exceptions to this prohibition, allowing for federal funding in cases where the abortion is performed due to rape or incest . An exception also applies if a physician certifies that the abortion is medically necessary to save the life of the pregnant individual, covering physical conditions that would place the woman in danger of death. This measure aims to ensure that taxpayer dollars do not support abortion services, except under these narrowly defined circumstances.
