=No change to abortion accessmodel confidence 80%
Carves out exceptions allowing funding for abortions in cases of rape, incest, life endangerment, miscarriage, or ectopic pregnancy, so maintains access in those limited circumstances.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new subsection to section 1115 of the Social Security Act that bars approval of Medicaid and CHIP demonstration projects providing federal funds for abortion or abortion-inclusive coverage (including travel/lodging), directly restricting public funding for abortion. It includes explicit exceptions for rape/incest, life endangerment, miscarriage, and ectopic pregnancy, which are standard Hyde-type carve-outs and do not change the net funding restriction. Findings section reinforces consistency with the Hyde Amendment's prohibition on taxpayer funds for elective abortions. No new
