Protecting Life on College Campus

Full Title:
Protecting Life on College Campus Act of 2025

Summary#

This bill, the Protecting Life on College Campus Act of 2025, would stop the award of federal funds to any college or university that hosts or is affiliated with a campus-based health site that provides abortion drugs or abortions to students or to employees. It would require any institution that hosts or is affiliated with such a site to send a yearly report to the U.S. Secretary of Education and the Secretary of Health and Human Services certifying that no campus site provides abortion drugs or abortions. The bill defines "abortion drug" broadly and defines "school-based service site" to mean campus clinics that provide health services to students; it excludes hospitals. The bill was introduced in the House on January 22, 2025, and was referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

What it means for you#

If this bill became law, colleges and universities that host or are affiliated with campus health clinics that provide abortion drugs or perform abortions would not be eligible to receive federal funds. Institutions that host or are affiliated with campus health sites would have to submit an annual certification to federal education and health officials saying those sites do not provide abortion drugs or abortions to students or employees.
