This bill, titled the "Reproductive Rights are Human Rights Act of 2025," amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to mandate a comprehensive section on reproductive rights in the Annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices. This aims to ensure the United States government consistently documents and addresses the status of reproductive rights globally, reflecting international standards and commitments. The legislation requires detailed reporting on policies promoting access to safe, effective, and affordable contraception , comprehensive family planning, and quality healthcare for safe pregnancy and childbirth. It also mandates reporting on policies that expand or restrict access to safe abortion services and post-abortion care, as well as the rates and causes of pregnancy-related injuries and deaths, including those from unsafe abortions. Furthermore, the reports must describe instances of discrimination, coercion, and violence against women, girls, and LGBTQI+ individuals in healthcare settings, such as obstetric violence or coerced sterilization. The bill also requires reporting on disparities in access to reproductive health services based on factors like race, disability, sexual orientation, and gender identity, along with government actions to address these issues. To ensure thorough reporting, the Secretary of State must consult with U.S. civil society, multilateral organizations, local NGOs, and relevant U.S. government agencies.
