Overview

This bill removes the federal tax deduction for abortion expenses, treating abortion differently from other medical procedures for tax purposes.

Law Today

The Internal Revenue Code currently allows taxpayers to deduct medical expenses, which generally include a broad range of healthcare costs. Abortion expenses are currently treated as medical expenses eligible for this deduction.

If Passed

If this bill passes, taxpayers would no longer be able to deduct abortion expenses from their taxable income as medical expenses. This means families paying for an abortion would lose a tax benefit available to them and to other medical procedures.

Likely Support

This bill aligns with the pro-life convictions of Christians who believe abortion ends a human life and should not receive public tax benefits. Removing the deduction respects the conscience of taxpayers who object to subsidizing abortion through the tax system, which many Christian parents view as a matter of religious freedom and moral consistency in law.

Likely supporters & opponents

Likely support

  • Pro-life advocacy organizations — Abortion is not genuine healthcare, and the tax code should not subsidize what they view as the ending of a human life.
  • Religious-liberty and faith-based organizations — The tax code should not use public funds (via foregone taxes) to enable practices that many citizens view as morally wrong.

Likely opposition

  • Abortion-access advocacy organizations and women's health groups — This penalty discourages women from accessing safe medical care and effectively taxes abortion more heavily than other procedures.
  • Civil-liberties and reproductive-rights groups — This change infringes on private reproductive decisions and treats abortion uniquely among medical procedures in a way that violates conscience and autonomy.
