States gain flexibility to exclude abortion providers from public health programs.

This bill grants states more freedom to decide whether institutions or individuals performing abortions can participate in state health programs. This means individual states can implement rules to exclude such entities from public funding, with exceptions for cases of rape, incest, or when the woman's life is at risk. This could impact the availability of healthcare services for women depending on their state of residence.
