Overturn the Department of Veterans Affairs rule that provides reproductive health services to veterans.

One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.

What’s happening with this effort?

The effort to overturn the Department of Veterans Affairs rule is active through H.J.Res. 144, which was referred to the House Committee on Veterans Affairs on January 26, 2026. The House committee must act next to move the bill forward, but the binding constraint is that most bills never receive a committee vote. Historical data shows that committee inaction is the most common way for legislation to end.
