Evidence

Massie introduced H.R. 5302, titled the No Funds for Foreign Abortions Act, which would prohibit U.S. funds from being provided to foreign governments or organizations that subsidize or promote abortion; Congress.gov lists the bill as introduced and referred to House Foreign Affairs.

Shows continuing anti-abortion funding legislation, but it is about foreign aid and did not become law.

The Clerk records Massie voting Aye on the rule for H. Res. 1009, which set up consideration of H.R. 6945, H.R. 6359, and H.J. Res. 140; this is a recent House floor vote, but the page does not show a direct vote on Planned Parenthood defunding or abortion-services funding.

Recent House activity exists, but it is not a direct pro-life funding vote, so it does not prove delivery of the promise.

Massie’s official vote record shows he voted Nay on H.R. 7148, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, on January 22, 2026, alongside other appropriations-related votes in the current Congress.

He opposed a major funding bill, but the record shown here does not establish a specific Planned Parenthood or abortion-services defunding vote.

The engrossed House text of H.R. 7 states the bill's purpose was 'To prohibit taxpayer funded abortions' and provides that no federally authorized or appropriated funds shall be expended for abortion or for health benefits coverage that includes abortion, with limited exceptions.

The bill Massie supported was substantively a federal abortion-funding restriction, not merely symbolic.

The House-passed text created a one-year moratorium on federal funding to Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates or clinics unless they certified they would not perform abortions or fund entities that perform abortions, subject to rape, incest, and life-endangerment exceptions.

The bill Massie voted for was a direct Planned Parenthood defunding measure tied to abortion services.

The Clerk lists Roll Call 99 on H.J. Res. 43, a resolution disapproving the HHS rule on compliance with Title X requirements by project recipients in selecting subrecipients. The resolution passed 230-188, and the member list records 'Massie Republican Kentucky KY Aye.'

Massie voted for a measure connected to Title X provider-selection rules, a practical pathway for states to exclude abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood from family-planning funds.

Public Law 115-23 states that Congress disapproved the HHS Title X subrecipient-selection rule and that the rule 'shall have no force or effect.' The law was approved April 13, 2017, after passing both chambers.

The H.J. Res. 43 vote Massie supported became law, though it did not itself name Planned Parenthood or impose a direct federal defunding ban.

Congress.gov lists H.R. 5302, the No Funds for Foreign Abortions Act, sponsored by Rep. Thomas Massie and introduced September 11, 2025. The latest action is referral to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, and the bill status is introduced.

Massie continued to advance anti-abortion funding legislation, but this bill targets foreign assistance and had not advanced beyond introduction as of the record checked.

The introduced text of H.R. 5302 would prohibit U.S. foreign-assistance funds from being obligated or expended to foreign governments, NGOs, international organizations, or multilateral entities that perform, refer for, actively promote, or otherwise subsidize abortion-related activities, with stated exceptions.

The bill text confirms Massie's 2025 proposal is a concrete abortion-funding restriction, but it is not a direct Planned Parenthood defunding vote.

Massie opposed the final 2025 reconciliation bill. This record alone does not prove a direct Planned Parenthood or abortion-funding vote, but it matters because the broader bill was reported to include Planned Parenthood-related funding restrictions.

Assessments

delivered later_term A for effort

Massie fulfilled the promise as a federal House member by casting direct votes matching both parts of the claim: he voted Aye on H.R. 7 in 2017 to prohibit taxpayer-funded abortions and Aye on H.R. 3134 in 2015, the Defund Planned Parenthood Act. The Planned Parenthood bill passed the House but was not enacted, yet the promise was framed as a voting commitment rather than a guarantee of enactment. Because these votes occurred in later congressional terms after the campaign context, timing is later_term.

partial same_term A for effort

Massie has materially acted in line with part of the promise by introducing H.R. 5302, the No Funds for Foreign Abortions Act, and by opposing a major appropriations bill. However, the supplied record does not establish that he cast a direct vote to defund Planned Parenthood or that the promised funding restrictions were enacted. Because the evidence shows serious same-term effort on abortion-funding policy but not full delivery of both promised components, partial credit is appropriate.
