States would have to send abortion data to the CDC to keep certain Medicaid family planning funds. The CDC would use that data for a national system and yearly reports.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, 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.
Ensuring Accurate and Complete Abortion Data Reporting Act of 2025 is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
Latest action on S. 178: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects state health departments and state Medicaid programs. They would have to collect, check, and send abortion data to the CDC to keep certain family planning payments. It could also affect providers and patients if states need more data from clinics or medical records to meet the reporting rules.
Why this matters: Abortion data is not reported the same way in every state today, so national numbers can be uneven. This bill would try to make that data more complete and easier to compare. It matters because those numbers can shape research, public health planning, and future policy debates. It also matters because states could lose certain family planning funds if they do not follow the reporting rules.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
