Summary of Bill HR 7798
Bill 117 HR 7798, also known as the Prohibiting Abortion Industry’s Lucrative Loopholes Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The bill aims to address what some lawmakers see as loopholes in the abortion industry that allow for profit-making practices.
The main provisions of the bill include prohibiting the sale of fetal tissue for profit, banning the use of federal funds for abortions, and requiring abortion providers to report any violations of these provisions to the Department of Health and Human Services. Additionally, the bill would impose penalties on providers who violate these regulations, including fines and potential loss of federal funding.
Supporters of the bill argue that it is necessary to ensure transparency and accountability in the abortion industry, and to prevent the exploitation of fetal tissue for financial gain. They also believe that federal funds should not be used to support abortions, as this goes against the beliefs of many taxpayers. Opponents of the bill, on the other hand, argue that it infringes on women's reproductive rights and could limit access to safe and legal abortion services. They also question the need for such legislation, as existing laws already regulate the use of fetal tissue and federal funding for abortions. Overall, Bill 117 HR 7798 is a controversial piece of legislation that has sparked debate among lawmakers and the public. Its fate in Congress remains uncertain as it continues to be discussed and debated.
