Abortion is Health Care Everywhere Act of 2026

This bill would change the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, a federal law that governs U.S. aid to other countries. It would remove the provision known as the "Helms amendment," which has limited the use of U.S. foreign aid funds for abortion since 1973. It would add language allowing foreign assistance funds to be used for reproductive health care services, including abortion services, training, and equipment, regardless of other laws, regulations, or policies. The bill also states it would be U.S. policy to include safe abortion access in U.S.-funded foreign assistance programs.
