Evidence

Section 613 states that no funds in the act may be used to pay for an abortion or for FEHB administrative expenses tied to abortion coverage; Section 614 keeps rape, incest, and life-of-the-mother exceptions.

The enacted Financial Services and General Government appropriations law for FY2026 retained the abortion restriction for federal employee health benefits, so the commitment was not delivered in this appropriations act.

Assessments

The FY2026 appropriations law kept the federal employee abortion-coverage restriction in place, so the promised removal was not achieved. There is no evidence here of a successful candidate-led legislative change or later-term delivery that would convert this into full fulfillment.
