What’s happening with Women’s Health Protection Act of 2025?
The Women’s Health Protection Act of 2025, known as H.R. 12, has remained in the House Energy and Commerce and Judiciary committees since June 23, 2025. Members of these committees must hold a vote to advance the bill, but most legislation never receives such a vote and expires in committee. This lack of committee action is the standard path for the vast majority of bills introduced in Congress.
