WASHINGTON ––U.S. Senators John Boozman (R-AR) and Roger Wicker (R-MS) introduced the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act to make the Hyde Amendment, which prevents the use of taxpayer dollars to fund abortions, permanent.

Under current law, the Hyde Amendment must be reauthorized by Congress every year.

“There has a been longstanding, bipartisan agreement that Americans should not be forced to subsidize abortions with their hard-earned tax dollars,” said Boozman. “Recent attempts to undermine that standard are troubling and we should set a standard across the federal government that protects the consciences of millions in the pro-life community.

“Millions of Americans share my belief that unborn life should be protected in the womb. Using taxpayer dollars to fund abortions is wrong,” Wicker said. “My Senate Republican colleagues, and I will continue fighting to preserve life.” 

The legislation is also cosponsored by Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and Senators James Lankford (R-OK), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), Jim Banks (R-IN), John Barrasso (R-WY), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Katie Britt (R-AL), Ted Budd (R-NC), Shelly Moore Capito (R-WV), Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), John Cornyn (R-TX), Tom Cotton (R-AR), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Ted Cruz (R-TX), John Curtis (R-UT), Steve Daines (R-MT), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Deb Fischer (R-NE), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Josh Hawley (R-MO), John Hoeven (R-ND), Ron Johnson (R-WI), Jim Justice (R-WV), John Kennedy (R-LA), Mike Lee (R-UT), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-KS), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Jerry Moran (R-KS), Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), Pete Ricketts (R-NE), Jim Risch (R-ID), Mike Rounds (R-SD), Eric Schmitt (R-MO), Rick Scott (R-FL), Tim Scott (R-SC), Tim Sheehy (R-MT), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) and Todd Young (R-IN).

Companion legislation was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ-04).

 The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2025is endorsed by multiple pro-life groups. Here’s what they are saying about the bill. 

“No matter which party holds power in Washington, Americans should never be forced to fund the violence of abortion with their tax dollars. For nearly 50 years, the Hyde Amendment and its family of policies have protected babies in the womb and their mothers from abortion by prohibiting taxpayer funding of abortion on demand. Despite Americans' strong support of this policy, pro-abortion members of Congress attack the Hyde family in every spending bill. The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act would finally apply Hyde principles permanently across the whole federal government, including stopping abortion subsidies in Obamacare,” said Vice President of Government Affairs of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America Marilyn Musgrave.

“This Act rightly prevents hard-earned taxpayer dollars from paying for harmful abortions. We at March for Life Action will continue to advocate for legislation that ensures our taxpayer dollars promote life-saving, pro-women, and pro-family policies,” said March for Life Action President Jeanne F. Mancini.
