Direction

Abortion otherAI label

Restricts abortion access model confidence 70%

The bill requires states to enforce child support from biological fathers for at least 50% of pregnancy and delivery medical expenses upon the mother's request, while explicitly stating that abortion expenses are not covered and defining abortion to exclude certain procedures.

Nothing in paragraph (35) of section 454 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 654), as added by subsection (a), shall be construed to imply that an expense associated with an abortion is a medical expense.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill's core provision on child support for pregnancy medical expenses is not an abortion topic, but the explicit rule of construction excluding abortion expenses and the added definition of abortion substantively address abortion by limiting coverage and narrowing the term's scope in federal child support law.
