Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act
Sponsored By: Senator Blackburn, Marsha [R-TN]
Introduced
Summary
Blocks Title X funding to any entity that performs or funds abortions. This bill would make Title X grants conditional on a certification that the grantee will not perform abortions or give funds to entities that do, while allowing narrow exceptions and adding annual reporting requirements.
Show full summary
- Families and patients: Women could still obtain abortions under narrow exceptions for rape, incest, or when a physician certifies a life‑threatening condition. Other abortions would not be supported by Title X-funded entities.
- Providers and grantees: Organizations must certify they will not perform or fund abortions to receive Title X assistance. Entities that perform or fund abortions risk losing eligibility for those federal grants.
- Hospitals: Hospitals are exempt from the ban so long as they do not, during the funding period, provide funds to non-hospital entities that perform abortions.
- Transparency and oversight: The Secretary would have to submit a report within 60 days of enactment and annually thereafter listing each Title X grantee, totals of abortions under the exceptions, counts for rape, incest, and physician-certified life-threat cases, and the flow of grant funds to other entities.

Limits Title X funding to non-abortion providers
If enacted, the bill would bar HHS from giving Title X money to any group unless the whole organization certifies it will not perform abortions or fund other entities that do. The rule would treat a grantee and its parents, subsidiaries, and commonly controlled affiliates as one entity. Title X money could still cover abortions only for rape, incest, or when a physician certifies a life‑threatening physical condition. Hospitals could keep Title X funding only if they do not pass Title X funds to non‑hospital abortion providers. These changes would likely reduce local Title X clinic options for many low‑income and uninsured people.
