Overturn the Department of Veterans Affairs rule that allows for reproductive health services including abortion counseling and procedures.

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 remains in committee as of June 24, 2026, following the rejection of S.J.Res. 103 on March 24, 2026. A Senate committee must now decide whether to advance the measure, but most bills fail because committees choose not to hold a vote. This outcome is standard for the vast majority of legislation in Congress.
