Abortion Funding Awareness Act of 2025

# Abortion Funding Awareness Act of 2025 Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would require states to publicly report details about Medicaid payments made to abortion providers using federal funds. States would need to submit annual reports to federal health officials and publish them on their websites, including information about how many abortions were performed and the gestational age of each pregnancy.

The bill is based on current federal law, which already restricts federal Medicaid funds for abortion to cases of rape, incest, or when the pregnancy threatens the woman's life—though states can use their own money to cover other abortions. **Who It Affects:** This primarily affects states that use Medicaid (federal-state health insurance for low-income individuals) to pay for abortions, as well as abortion providers receiving such payments. It would also increase transparency for taxpayers and the public regarding how federal healthcare dollars are spent in this area. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Republican Senator Jim Banks of Indiana and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate.
