Federal programs could not pay for or help arrange travel to another state for an abortion. The bill focuses on travel help, not direct payment for the medical procedure itself.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
No Federal Funds for Abortion Travel Expenses Act of 2023 is a House bill in Congress.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who rely on federal programs and need to travel to another state for abortion care. It also affects federal agencies and programs that may now pay for or arrange travel. Medical providers and program staff could also need to apply the bill's definition of abortion and its listed exceptions.
Why this matters: This bill could make it harder for some people to travel for abortion care if they depend on federal help. Today, some people leave their state to get an abortion where it is legal or available. The bill would stop federal programs from helping with that travel. The full effect would depend on what help agencies already provide and how they apply the new rule.
