S. 5565 — Abortion is Health Care Everywhere Act of 2026

This section makes findings on the importance of accessible and affordable abortion care as part of sexual and reproductive health, the annual deaths and costs from unsafe abortions in low- and middle-income countries, the ineffectiveness of legal restrictions in reducing abortion rates, and the harms caused by U.S. foreign assistance limits under the Helms amendment.

This section establishes the policy of the United States Government to recognize access to safe abortion as a critical component of comprehensive maternal and reproductive health care in foreign assistance programs, to integrate reproductive health care including family planning and safe abortion with other health services, and to fund training, commodities, equipment, and services to end unsafe abortion through collaboration with affected governments and providers.

This section authorizes the use of funds made available to carry out part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 for comprehensive reproductive health care services, including abortion services, training, and equipment, notwithstanding any other provision of law, regulation, or policy.
