Abortion

Current Legislation

The 112th and 113th Congresses have launched a number of attacks on women's health, particularly regarding abortion access and coverage. NFPRHA's fact sheets about these dangerous and extreme bills are below.

• NFPRHA Opposes H.R. 61, H.R. 217, and S. 135 -- April 2013 (PDF)
  NFPRHA strongly opposes H.R. 61, H.R. 217, and S. 135, the "Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act." These bills, sponsored by anti-choice Representatives Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Diane Black (R-TN) and anti-choice Senator David Vitter (R-LA), seek to undercut the Title X family planning program -- the only dedicated source of federal funding for family planning care in the U.S.
  
  
• NFPRHA Opposes H.R. 3541 (PDF)
  NFPRHA strongly opposes H.R. 3541, the “Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act” (PRENDA). This bill, sponsored by anti-choice Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ), would subject abortion providers to criminal penalties for providing abortion care to women of color.

• NFPRHA Opposes S. 877 -- October 2011 (PDF)
  NFPRHA strongly opposes S. 877, the "Protect Life Act." This bill, sponsored by anti-choice Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), seeks to modify provisions related to abortion coverage under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148).

• NFPRHA Opposes H.R 358 -- October 2011 (PDF)
  NFPRHA strongly opposes H.R. 358, the "Protect Life Act." This bill, sponsored by anti-choice Rep. Joseph Pitts (R-PA), seeks to modify provisions related to abortion coverage under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148).

• NFPRHA Opposes S. 906 -- May 2011 (PDF)
  NFPRHA strongly opposes S. 906, the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act." This bill, sponsored by anti-choice Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS), purports to prohibit "taxpayer funded abortions" and provide protection for those who seek to deny information about abortion or abortion care itself.
  
  
• NFPRHA Opposes H.R. 3 -- February 2011 (PDF)
  NFPRHA strongly opposes H.R. 3, the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act." This bill, sponsored by anti-choice Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), purports to prohibit "taxpayer funded abortions" and provide protection for those who seek to deny information about abortion or abortion care itself.
