The Senate’s version of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act includes stripping all federal funding to organizations such as Planned Parenthood that perform abortions.
The abortion provider provision in the Medicaid section of the bill’s text, released Monday night by Senate Finance Committee Chair Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, mirrors the language of the House bill that was narrowly passed last month, the Washington Examiner reported.
Just as in the House version, the legislation would prohibit federal funding for abortion providers, as well as those who provide gender-transition procedures, for the next 10 years. If the provision remains in the final version of the bill, the law would prohibit federal Medicaid funding for nonabortion services from healthcare centers that perform elective abortions.
