S 253 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Abortion Is Not Health Care Act of 2025

This bill changes U.S. tax law by removing abortion expenses from the list of medical costs taxpayers can deduct. It specifically states that amounts paid for abortions cannot be counted toward medical expense deductions on federal tax returns, affecting individuals who pay for abortions and might have claimed them as deductible medical expenses. Exceptions apply for abortions needed to treat life-endangering physical conditions related to pregnancy, or in cases of rape or incest, as certified by a physician. The law would take effect for tax years beginning after its enactment. This is a tax policy change, not a restriction on abortion access.
