Protecting Life on College Campus Act of 2025

This bill prohibits the award of federal funds to an institution of higher education (IHE) that hosts or is affiliated with a school-based service site that provides abortion drugs or abortions to its students or to employees of the IHE or the site. An IHE that hosts or is affiliated with a site must, in order to remain eligible for federal funds, annually certify that the site does not provide abortion drugs or abortions to students or employees.

Bill 119 HR 632, also known as the "Protecting Life on College Campus Act of 2021," aims to prevent institutions of higher education from receiving federal funds if they host or are affiliated with a student-based service site that provides abortion drugs or abortions to students or employees. The bill seeks to uphold pro-life values by ensuring that taxpayer dollars do not support abortion services on college campuses.

If passed, this legislation would have significant implications for colleges and universities that currently offer abortion services or have partnerships with organizations that provide such services. The bill's language is clear in its intent to restrict federal funding to institutions that do not align with its pro-life stance.

Supporters of the bill argue that it is necessary to protect the sanctity of life and prevent taxpayer dollars from being used to support abortion services. Critics, on the other hand, may argue that the bill infringes on women's reproductive rights and limits access to healthcare services on college campuses. Overall, Bill 119 HR 632 represents a contentious issue in the ongoing debate over abortion rights and federal funding for healthcare services. If enacted, this legislation would have far-reaching consequences for institutions of higher education and the students and employees who rely on them for healthcare services.
