H.R. 73
Abortion Is Not Health Care Act of 2025
In Plain Language
This bill would change the tax code so that money you spend on an abortion can no longer be deducted as a medical expense on your taxes. Currently, people who itemize deductions can deduct medical expenses, including abortion costs, if those expenses exceed 7.5% of their income. This bill removes abortion from that list.
