Pass the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act
Printed page 491 14. Department of Health and Human Services
“Congress should complement these efforts by passing legislation such as the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act, which would prohibit family planning grants from going to entities that perform abortions or provide funding to other entities that perform abortions.”
What has happened
- Not started
Congress has not acted. H.R. 343, the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act, was introduced on 2025-01-13 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce; the Senate companion, S. 4329, was introduced on 2026-04-16 and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. Neither has had a committee vote, let alone a floor vote, and under playbook 3b introduction and referral are not rungs.

Research notes
- The titles of the bills we keep and search, for “Title X”: exactly the two bills above.
- Among the public laws we keep and search, from congress.gov, none of the enacted laws of the window contains a Title X abortion-provider prohibition. The FY2026 Labor-HHS appropriations act (P.L. 119-75) carries the usual Hyde and Weldon riders but no Title X grantee prohibition.
