No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act

This bill would permanently codify the Hyde Amendment, which has been renewed annually since 1976 to prohibit federal funds from paying for abortions except in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is in danger. It would also prohibit federal subsidies for health insurance plans that include abortion coverage through the Affordable Care Act marketplace. The bill establishes tax provisions that prevent the use of tax credits or deductions for abortion expenses.
