Require every state to report detailed abortion statistics
What the document says“HHS should use every available tool, including the cutting of funds, to ensure that every state reports exactly how many abortions take place within its borders”
The chapter asks that reports cover gestational age, reason, the mother's state of residence and method, separated by category, and that complications and every instance of a child born alive after an abortion be monitored and reported. It says abortion should be defined only as procedures that intentionally end an unborn child's life, and that miscarriage management and standard ectopic pregnancy treatment should never be conflated with abortion.
What the document actually says“HHS should use every available tool, including the cutting of funds, to ensure that every state reports exactly how many abortions take place within its borders”
Make every state report its abortion numbers. Cut their funding if they will not.
States are not all required to report abortions. The book says every state should have to. It says money should be cut off if they refuse.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
