Reproductive Rights Are Human Rights Act of 2025

This bill requires the U.S. State Department to include a clear, detailed section on reproductive rights in its yearly Human Rights Reports for every country. The reports would cover access to contraception and accurate family planning information; care for pregnancy and childbirth; prevention and treatment of STIs; changes that expand or restrict access to abortion or criminalize pregnancy outcomes; and data on pregnancy-related injuries and deaths, including from unsafe abortions. They would also describe discrimination or violence in health settings (including against women, girls, LGBTQI+ people, and people with disabilities), barriers to care, and any government actions to address these issues and disparities in outcomes by factors like race, disability, age, or marital status . The State Department must consult with U.S. and local organizations with experience in sexual and reproductive health and rights when preparing these reports .

The bill’s findings state that reproductive rights are human rights recognized in international standards, and note past removal of reproductive rights reporting from some U.S. reports. It emphasizes that limiting these rights harms health and equality, and that reporting should capture denials of care and related abuses .

• What changes: Adds a required reproductive rights section with specific topics and data points to each country’s annual report, including policies, outcomes, barriers, discrimination, and government responses .
• When: For future Annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices after this becomes law .
