Abortion Is Not Health Care Act of 2025

Bill 119 hr 73, also known as the "Abortion Tax Deduction Act," aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The main purpose of this bill is to ensure that amounts paid for an abortion are not considered when calculating the deduction for medical expenses on tax returns.

Currently, individuals can deduct certain medical expenses, including abortion costs, from their taxable income. However, this bill seeks to change that by specifically excluding abortion expenses from being eligible for this deduction.

Supporters of the bill argue that abortion is a controversial issue and should not be subsidized by taxpayers through the deduction for medical expenses. They believe that individuals should not be able to deduct the cost of a procedure that is considered morally objectionable by some. Opponents of the bill, on the other hand, argue that this legislation unfairly targets women seeking abortions and could potentially limit access to reproductive healthcare. They believe that abortion is a legal medical procedure and should be treated like any other medical expense for tax purposes. Overall, Bill 119 hr 73 is a contentious piece of legislation that raises important questions about the intersection of healthcare, taxes, and personal beliefs. It will be interesting to see how this bill progresses through Congress and what impact it may have on individuals seeking abortion services in the future.
