Bill overview
This bill, the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2025, temporarily restricts federal funding to Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates for one year. To receive funding, these organizations must certify they will not perform or fund abortions except in cases of rape, incest, or to prevent a woman’s life from being endangered. Any funds previously received by Planned Parenthood would be recouped if the certification requirements are not met. The bill also provides additional funding to community health centers, subject to the same abortion restrictions.
Key provisions
- A one-year moratorium on federal funding for Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates.
- Requirement for Planned Parenthood affiliates to certify they will not perform or fund abortions during the moratorium.
- Exceptions for abortions resulting from rape or incest, or to prevent a life-threatening condition.

H. R. 271
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
A BILL
To provide for a moratorium on Federal funding to Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc.
This Act may be cited as the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2025
.
Congress finds the following:
State and county health departments, community health centers, hospitals, physicians offices, and other entities currently provide, and will continue to provide, health services to women. Such health services include relevant diagnostic laboratory and radiology services, well-child care, prenatal and postpartum care, immunization, family planning services (including contraception), cervical and breast cancer screenings and referrals, and sexually transmitted disease testing.
Many such entities provide services to all persons, regardless of the person’s ability to pay, and provide services in medically underserved areas and to medically underserved populations.
Subsection (a) shall not apply to an abortion—
if the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest; or
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.
The Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of Agriculture shall seek repayment of any Federal assistance received by Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc., or any affiliate or clinic of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc., if it violates the terms of the certification required by subsection (a) during the period specified in subsection (a).
Nothing in this Act shall be construed to reduce overall Federal funding available in support of women’s health.
