Evidence

The enrolled CJS appropriations act for fiscal year 2026 includes Section 202: "None of the funds appropriated by this title shall be available to pay for an abortion, except where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term, or in the case of rape or incest."

The enacted FY2026 Commerce-Justice-Science appropriations law preserved the long-standing abortion-funding prohibition, satisfying the core claim for DOJ-funded programs covered by the title.

The White House says the President signed H.R. 6938 into law on January 23, 2026, making consolidated appropriations for fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.

This confirms the appropriations vehicle containing the abortion restriction became law in the same term, not merely a committee proposal.

In the House committee print for the FY2026 CJS bill, Section 202 states that none of the funds appropriated by the title may be used to pay for an abortion, with only life-of-the-mother, rape, or incest exceptions.

This is direct legislative text showing the prohibition Diaz-Balart sought to continue was included in the House-originated appropriations bill.

Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

The FY2026 enacted Commerce-Justice-Science appropriations law included the DOJ-related abortion funding prohibition with the traditional rape, incest, and life-of-the-mother exceptions, and it was signed into law on January 23, 2026 while Diaz-Balart remained in federal office. Because the promised prohibition was continued in enacted appropriations during the same term, the outcome is delivered. The effort badge is warranted because the evidence also shows the restriction was included in the House-originated CJS appropriations text that Diaz-Balart materially advanced through the appropriations process.
