End Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Providers Act

This bill, titled the End Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Providers Act, would prohibit the federal government from providing funds to any entity that performs abortions, provides referrals for abortions, or provides funding to other entities that perform abortions. The prohibition would also apply to that entity’s affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, or clinics. The law creates two narrow exceptions: (1) abortions resulting from rape or incest, and (2) abortions deemed medically necessary to save the life of the pregnant woman, certified by a physician. The prohibition would not override limitations already set in appropriations acts (i.e., existing abortion-related funding restrictions would remain in effect). The act would take effect 60 days after enactment. In short, the bill would sharply restrict federal funding to organizations connected to abortion services or referrals, with limited carve-outs for rape/incest and life-saving circumstances, and would apply broadly to any funding flowing to those entities.
