The Reproductive Rights Are Human Rights Act of 2025 requires the U.S. State Department to include detailed information about reproductive rights in its annual human rights reports on every country. Specifically, the bill mandates reporting on each country's policies regarding contraceptive access, abortion services, maternal health, sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy-related deaths, and discrimination or coercion in reproductive health care—with special attention to how these issues affect women, girls, LGBTQI+ individuals, and people with disabilities. The legislation directs the State Department to consult with civil society organizations, local nonprofits, and other U.S. agencies when gathering this information. The bill reflects Congress's position that reproductive rights are fundamental human rights under international agreements the United States has signed, and it addresses concerns that the State Department previously removed reproductive rights sections from these reports in recent years.
