Abortion is Health Care Everywhere Act of 2026

This bill would change the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, which governs U.S. aid to other countries. It would remove the section known as the Helms amendment, which bars U.S. foreign aid funds from paying for abortion. It would add a new rule saying foreign aid funds under this part of the law may be used for comprehensive reproductive health care services, including abortion services, training, and equipment, regardless of other laws, regulations, or policies. The bill also states a U.S. policy of including safe abortion in foreign assistance programs and working with other governments and providers on training, supplies, and access.
