No Pro-Abortion Task Force Act
Plain Language Summary
# No Pro-Abortion Task Force Act Summary **What the bill would do:** This bill would prevent the federal government from spending money on the HHS Reproductive Healthcare Access Task Force or any similar future task force. The task force was created in 2022 to help coordinate federal efforts related to sexual and reproductive health care access across different HHS departments. **Who it affects:** The bill primarily affects HHS operations and patients seeking reproductive health services. It would limit the federal government's ability to organize and coordinate reproductive health programs, though it wouldn't directly eliminate specific health services—only the coordinating task force itself. **Current status:** The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House.
It was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ). Since it's still in committee, it remains early in the legislative process.
