No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2025

1/29/2025, 9:05 AM
Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, and Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Bill 119 HR 7, also known as the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2025, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to prohibit the use of federal funds for abortions, except in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is in danger.

Additionally, the bill aims to ensure that individuals purchasing health insurance plans that cover abortion are fully aware of this coverage and are given the option to opt out of such coverage. This is in line with the belief that taxpayers should not be forced to fund abortions if it goes against their personal beliefs.

The bill has garnered support from anti-abortion advocates who believe that taxpayer dollars should not be used to fund a procedure that they find morally objectionable. However, it has also faced criticism from pro-choice advocates who argue that it restricts access to abortion services for low-income individuals who rely on government-funded healthcare programs. Overall, Bill 119 HR 7 seeks to establish clear guidelines regarding the use of federal funds for abortion and ensure transparency in insurance coverage for abortion services. It is currently being debated in Congress and its outcome remains uncertain.
