# Plain Language Summary of H.R. 7063

This bill would cut off federal funding to pregnancy centers that discourage people from getting medical care from licensed doctors and healthcare providers. In practical terms, it targets facilities that might steer pregnant people away from comprehensive medical services—like ultrasounds, prenatal care, or other treatments from actual medical professionals—in favor of advice or services provided by non-medical staff.

The bill focuses on what it calls "diverting" people from medical care. This means if a pregnancy center actively discourages someone from seeing a doctor, delays them from getting timely medical attention, or directs them away from licensed healthcare providers, that center would lose access to any federal funding it receives. This could include grants, subsidies, or other government money that helps fund their operations.

Who this affects depends on how the law would be interpreted and enforced. Pregnancy centers that provide medical services through licensed professionals would likely be unaffected. However, centers that primarily offer counseling, information, or non-medical support without licensed medical staff on site could face funding cuts if they're found to be discouraging people from seeking professional medical care. The bill essentially says that if you want federal taxpayer money, you can't steer people away from doctors and licensed healthcare providers.

To prohibit Federal funds from being made available to any pregnancy center that diverts people from accessing comprehensive and timely medical care from licensed medical professionals.
