Congress.gov's summary says H.R.7286 would prohibit the use of federal funds for abortions and for health coverage that includes abortions, making those restrictions permanent.

This is direct official evidence for the taxpayer-funding portion of the promise, but it shows introduction/cosponsorship activity, not enactment.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Van Epps cosponsored H.R.7286 in the 119th Congress, which directly addresses opposing taxpayer funding for abortion and broader anti-abortion policy goals. However, the evidence shows legislative support and cosponsorship only, not enactment or a completed federal policy outcome. Because this was a serious same-term legislative effort but did not deliver the promised result, the outcome is not fulfilled, with an effort badge warranted.
