Who this affects: This bill mainly affects nonprofits that provide abortions or help pay for them. That could include clinics, advocacy groups, charities, foundations, or other organizations. Donors to those groups would also be affected because their gifts may no longer qualify for a federal tax deduction. The Internal Revenue Service would have to apply the new tax rule.
Why this matters: This bill could change how abortion-related nonprofits raise money and pay taxes. Losing tax-exempt status can make an organization more expensive to run. Losing deductible donations can also make fundraising harder. The bill could also create hard line-drawing questions for the IRS and nonprofits because it covers both abortion providers and groups that fund abortions.
