Overview
This bill would change the tax rules for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to prevent them from being used to pay for abortions or abortion-related services, with limited exceptions for cases where the mother's life is in danger.
Law Today
The Internal Revenue Code currently allows tax-free distributions from Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to be used for qualified medical expenses, including abortion-related services.
If Passed
This bill would prohibit HSA funds from being used tax-free to pay for certain abortions or abortion-related services, meaning families would have to use after-tax dollars for those expenses or face tax penalties on HSA withdrawals used for abortion.

Likely supporters & opponents
Likely support
- pro-life organizations — HSA funds should not receive federal tax benefits for procedures that end pregnancy, as this effectively subsidizes abortion through the tax code.
- religious-liberty advocacy organizations — Christians and others with pro-life convictions should not be forced to fund abortions through their own tax-advantaged savings accounts.
Likely opposition
- reproductive-rights advocacy organizations — This restriction limits access to legal medical procedures and forces families to choose between healthcare decisions and losing tax benefits.
- medical associations — Healthcare decisions should remain between patients and their doctors without tax-code restrictions on payment methods.
