What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryRequires states to report Medicaid abortion payments
This bill would require states to publicly report details about Medicaid payments they make to abortion providers each year. The reports would go to the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and be published on each state's website. These reports would need to include information like how many abortions the providers performed and how far along each pregnancy was.
How it affects you
If you live in a state that uses Medicaid funds to pay for abortions, this would make those payments more visible to the public through state websites. The bill doesn't change which abortions Medicaid can pay for under federal law—it just adds a requirement to track and report the information. People seeking abortions would not see a direct change in access or services.

Abortion Funding Awareness Act of 2025
This bill establishes reporting requirements for states regarding certain Medicaid payments to abortion providers.
Specifically, the bill requires states that make Medicaid payments using federal funds for any items or services furnished by an abortion provider to annually (1) submit a report to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on all such payments, and (2) publish the report on the state's website. The report must include specified information, including the number of abortions performed by the providers and the gestational age with respect to each such abortion. (Current law restricts the use of federal funds for abortions to cases of rape, incest, or life endangerment of the woman. States may use their own funds to cover abortions in other cases.)
