Latest action on H.R. 343: Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects health providers that receive Title X family planning funds and also perform abortions. It could also affect patients who use those providers for birth control, screenings, and testing for sexually transmitted infections. Hospitals, affiliated health systems, and groups that receive sub-funding from Title X grantees could also face new limits.

Why this matters: This bill could change where low-income patients get family planning care. Some current Title X providers could lose funding if they perform abortions outside the bill’s exceptions. That could affect access to birth control, cancer screening, and testing for sexually transmitted infections. The bill would also give Congress more data about Title X providers and abortions performed under the allowed exceptions.

Key provisions in H.R. 343

• Title X family planning money would come with a new condition. A recipient must certify that it will not perform abortions or fund other abortion providers.
• The bill allows abortions in limited cases. The pregnancy must result from rape or incest, or a doctor must certify that a physical condition puts the woman in danger of death.
• Hospitals get a different rule. They may receive funds if they do not pass Title X money to non-hospital groups that perform abortions outside the bill’s exceptions.
• The Secretary of Health and Human Services must report to Congress every year. The report must list all Title X grantees and the groups that receive sub-funding from them.
• The yearly report must include abortion counts for any grantee that performs abortions under the exceptions. It must show how many involved rape, incest, or danger to the woman’s life.
