Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2025

This bill, the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2025, would impose a one-year federal funding moratorium on Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. and its affiliates and clinics. The funds could be released only if those entities certify that they will not perform abortions during the moratorium and will not fund any other entity that performs abortions. The bill creates narrowly tailored exceptions for abortions in cases of rape or incest, or to save the life of the mother as certified by a physician. It also requires the federal government to seek repayment of any funding to Planned Parenthood if the required certification is violated. To help maintain access to women’s health services during the moratorium, the bill authorizes $235 million for the Community Health Center program (PHSA Section 330) for the same period, with the same abortion-related restriction applied to those funds. The bill includes a “funding offset” mechanism, implying that funding redirected away from Planned Parenthood would be offset by the Community Health Center funds. A provision states that nothing in the act reduces overall federal funding for women’s health. In short, the bill seeks to halt federal funding to Planned Parenthood for one year unless they agree to a no-abortion certification, while directing additional funds to community health centers to preserve access to women’s health services.
