HR271 Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2025

Direction

Abortion funding insuranceAI label

Restricts abortion access model confidence 90%

Prohibits federal funds from going to Planned Parenthood unless it certifies it will not perform or fund abortions (except in narrow cases), and redirects the funds to community health centers that also cannot use them for most abortions, so less public funding supports organizations that provide or

no funds authorized or appropriated by Federal law may be made available for any purpose to Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc., or any affiliate or clinic of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc., unless such entities certify that Planned Parenthood Federation of America affiliates and clinics will not perform, and will not provide any funds to any other entity that performs, an abortion during such period.

Abortion exceptionsAI label

Restricts abortion access model confidence 80%

Limits the funding ban's exception to abortions only in cases of rape, incest, or life endangerment certified by a physician, so narrower allowance for abortion-related federal support.

Subsection (a) shall not apply to an abortion-- (1) if the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest; or (2) in the case where a woman suffers from a physical disorder, physical injury, or physical illness that would, as certified by a physician, place the woman in danger of death unless an abortion is performed, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill imposes a one-year moratorium on all federal funding to Planned Parenthood and its affiliates unless they certify they will not perform or fund abortions (with narrow exceptions for rape, incest, and life endangerment), requires repayment for violations, and redirects $235 million to community health centers that are similarly barred from using the new funds for most abortions. This directly restricts abortion access by cutting public funding and support for providers that offer abortions. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or immigration enforcement.
