Ban all federal funding for abortions.

Evidence
I support banning all federal funding for abortions and have supported legislation to prevent this.
The bill makes these restrictions permanent and extends the restrictions to all federal funds.
Passed House without amendment (01/22/2015).
Assessments
Carter promised to ban all federal funding for abortions, which requires a federal statutory or binding executive outcome. The evidence shows he publicly supported the policy and backed legislation such as the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, including House passage in 2015 and later reintroductions, but the blanket ban did not become enacted federal law. Because there was a serious legislative effort but no delivered nationwide funding ban, the promise is best scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
