States Choose Life Act of 2023

The States Choose Life Act of 2023 would change the federal requirements for clinics and organizations that receive Title X family planning grants. Under this bill, the Department of Health and Human Services would be prohibited from requiring these grant recipients to provide abortion referrals or counseling regarding pregnancy termination if those actions are illegal in the state where the clinic operates. For citizens, this means that the types of medical information and referrals available at federally funded family planning centers would vary more significantly from state to state based on local laws.
