Bill > S946

This bill, titled the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act," aims to prohibit the use of federal funds for abortions and eliminate certain tax benefits related to abortion coverage. Specifically, it would prevent any federal funds, including those in trust funds, from being spent on abortions or on health benefits plans that cover abortions. This prohibition would apply to services provided in federal facilities or by federal employees, with exceptions for abortions necessary due to rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother, as well as for treating complications arising from abortions. The bill also seeks to disallow tax deductions for medical expenses incurred for abortions, and it would prevent individuals from receiving refundable tax credits for health insurance plans that include abortion coverage, though separate abortion coverage paid for with non-federal funds would still be permitted. Furthermore, it would disallow tax credits for small employers offering health insurance plans that cover abortions and would require reimbursements for abortion expenses from flexible spending arrangements, Archer MSAs, and HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) to be included in gross income, meaning they would be taxable.
