To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to revoke the tax-exempt status of organizations that provide, or provide funding for, abortion.
House Bill Would Strip Tax-Exempt Status From Organizations That Provide or Fund Abortions
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- This bill would change the law so that organizations providing or funding abortions would lose their tax-exempt status. This means these groups would have to start paying federal income taxes on the money they receive, just like most businesses do.
- People who give money to these organizations would no longer be able to lower their own taxes by claiming those donations. This could make it much harder for these groups to raise money because donors would no longer get a tax break for their gifts.
- The plan includes exceptions for abortions that are necessary to save the life of the mother or in cases of rape or incest. It also does not count procedures meant to help a baby be born alive or to remove a baby that has already died in the womb.
- This change would affect many non-profits and health clinics across the country. The goal of the bill is to make sure that organizations involved in abortion do not get special tax benefits from the government.
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
Life & Work
Nonprofit organizations that provide or fund abortion services — including large networks like Planned Parenthood's nearly 600 facilities — would lose their tax-exempt status and be treated like taxable businesses. This would require them to pay federal income taxes on revenue and would eliminate the tax-deductible status of donations they receive, likely reducing their fundraising. Smaller independent reproductive health clinics organized as nonprofits would face especially severe financial pressure.
