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.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. No indexed action requires a state to report how many abortions take place within its borders. EO 14182, the nearest on subject, ends federal funding of elective abortion; it conditions no funds on state reporting and says nothing about gestational age, method, complications or children born alive. The other candidates, the Mexico City Policy memorandum and the State Department award term implementing it, govern foreign assistance. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
