Plain Language Summary

# Ensuring Accurate and Complete Abortion Data Reporting Act of 2025 - Summary **What the bill would do:** This bill would require states to report abortion data to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a condition of receiving federal Medicaid funding for family planning services. Currently, states voluntarily report this information.

The bill would also have the CDC create standardized questions for states to use when collecting data about abortions, including information about the pregnant person's age, race, and the method used. **Who it affects:** The bill directly affects states that receive Medicaid funding and the CDC. Indirectly, it could impact women and families who use family planning services covered by Medicaid, as it establishes new reporting requirements tied to federal funding. **Current status:** The bill (HR 627) was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Ralph Norman (R-SC) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.
