Bill
HR 6191
The bill prohibits using federal funds to help illegal aliens access abortion services, creating barriers to reproductive healthcare for this vulnerable population.
This bill, introduced in the House of Representatives on November 20, 2025, aims to prohibit the use of federal funds to assist illegal aliens in accessing certain abortion services.
Key Provisions:
- Prohibits federal funds from being used to cover any expenses related to an illegal alien accessing "covered abortion services", including travel, lodging, meals, childcare, translation services, doula care, and patient education.
- Defines "illegal alien" as someone who is inadmissible to the U.S. under certain immigration law provisions or deportable under certain grounds.
Purpose and Intent:
The stated intent of the bill is to prevent federal taxpayer funds from being used to facilitate abortions for individuals who are in the country illegally. Supporters argue this will uphold restrictions on federal funding for abortion services.
Potential Impact:
If enacted, this legislation would limit access to abortion services for undocumented immigrants by prohibiting the use of federal funds to cover associated costs. This could create additional barriers and financial burdens for this population seeking reproductive healthcare. Critics argue the bill unfairly targets vulnerable groups and restricts reproductive rights.
Procedural Aspects:
The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on November 20, 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. No further legislative action has been taken at this time.
