Increased State Flexibility in Excluding Abortion Providers.
This bill grants states greater freedom to decide whether medical facilities performing abortions can participate in publicly funded programs like Medicaid.

Exceptions are made for abortions in cases of rape, incest, or when the woman's life is at risk.
