Bill > HR6191

This bill, titled the "No Taxpayer Funded Abortion Travel for Illegal Aliens Act," seeks to prohibit federal funds from being used to assist undocumented immigrants in accessing abortion services. Specifically, the bill defines "covered abortion services" broadly to include not just the abortion procedure itself, but also related expenses such as travel, lodging, meals, childcare, translation services, doula care, and patient education. The bill defines an "illegal alien" using specific legal terminology from the Immigration and Nationality Act, referring to individuals who are either inadmissible or deportable under certain immigration law provisions. By implementing this prohibition, the bill aims to prevent federal government spending on abortion-related support for undocumented immigrants, effectively restricting their access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare services. The bill's language is precise in delineating the types of expenses that would be prohibited and the specific immigration status of individuals who would be affected by this restriction.
