AI Summary

This bill, named the "Protecting Life on College Campus Act of 2025", aims to prohibit federal funding for any institution of higher education that hosts or is affiliated with a school-based service site providing abortion drugs or performing abortions for students or employees. Specifically, the bill defines an "abortion drug" as any substance intended to intentionally terminate a pregnancy, with narrow exceptions such as removing a dead unborn child or treating an ectopic pregnancy. To remain eligible for federal funds, institutions must submit an annual report to the Secretaries of Education and Health and Human Services certifying that their school-based service sites do not provide such services. A "school-based service site" is defined as a clinic on a college campus providing health care services, but explicitly excludes hospitals. The bill would effectively penalize colleges that offer abortion-related services by cutting off their access to federal funding, which could include research grants, student financial aid, and other federal support, potentially creating significant financial pressure on institutions to limit reproductive health services.
