Pregnant Women Health and Safety Act of 2025

This bill sets new rules for people who perform abortions. It requires the provider to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 15 miles of both their main office and the place where the abortion happens. The provider must also tell the patient, at the time of the procedure, which hospital the patient can go to for follow‑up care with that same provider if complications occur. Not following these rules would be a federal crime and could lead to a fine, up to two years in prison, or both. The patient cannot be charged under this section.

It also ties federal funding to clinic standards. To receive federal funds or assistance, an abortion clinic must be licensed by its state and meet federal standards for ambulatory surgical centers.

• Who is affected: People authorized to perform abortions, abortion clinics that seek federal funds, and patients seeking care .
• What changes: Providers must have nearby hospital admitting privileges and give patients hospital follow‑up information; violations can bring fines or up to two years in prison; clinics must be state‑licensed and meet federal ambulatory surgery center standards to get federal funds; patients are not prosecuted under this section .
