Reproductive Coercion Prevention and Protection Act of 2025

# Reproductive Coercion Prevention and Protection Act of 2025 (HR 6883) ## What the Bill Would Do This bill would establish federal protections against "reproductive coercion"—actions that prevent someone from making free choices about pregnancy, contraception, or fertility. If passed, it would make reproductive coercion a violation of federal law and create legal remedies for people harmed by such actions. The bill appears designed to address situations where individuals are pressured, deceived, or physically prevented from using contraception, becoming pregnant, or ending a pregnancy. ## Who It Affects and Key Provisions The legislation would primarily affect individuals experiencing reproductive coercion in relationships or other contexts. It would likely establish definitions of prohibited conduct, penalties for violations, and mechanisms for victims to seek legal remedies.

The bill could impact healthcare providers, law enforcement, and anyone involved in situations involving reproductive decisions. ## Current Status As of now, HR 6883 is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a floor vote in the House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Dave Min (D-CA-47). At this stage, the bill is in the early phases of the legislative process and would need committee approval and broader support before becoming law.
