Summary of Bill HR 106
Bill 118 hr 106, also known as the Abortion Is Not Health Care Act of 2023, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The bill aims 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.
If passed, this bill would have significant implications for women's access to abortion services in the United States. It would restrict the ability of low-income women who rely on federal funding for their healthcare to access abortion services, potentially forcing them to carry unwanted pregnancies to term.
Supporters of the bill argue that abortion is not a form of healthcare and should not be funded by taxpayer dollars. They believe that the government should not be involved in funding a procedure that they view as morally objectionable. Opponents of the bill, on the other hand, argue that abortion is a fundamental healthcare right for women and that restricting access to abortion services disproportionately affects low-income women and women of color. They believe that the government should not interfere with a woman's right to make decisions about her own body. Overall, Bill 118 hr 106 is a controversial piece of legislation that has sparked intense debate among lawmakers and the public. Its outcome will have far-reaching implications for women's reproductive rights in the United States.
