S 4701: Freedom to Travel for Health Care Act of 2026

The Freedom to Travel for Health Care Act of 2026 prohibits any person or government entity from restricting, sanctioning, or discriminating against individuals who travel to another state to receive reproductive health care that is legal there. It also protects those who assist travelers and reproductive health care providers from facing penalties for offering services to out-of-state patients, effectively overriding any conflicting state laws. The bill establishes a private right of action allowing affected individuals, organizations, and providers to sue in federal or state court for violations, with provisions for damages and attorney's fees. Additionally, it removes state sovereign immunity defenses for officials enforcing laws that interfere with this travel right, ensuring federal courts can hear such cases directly.

HR 9420: Reproductive Health Care Training Act of 2026

The Reproductive Health Care Training Act of 2026 authorizes $25 million over five years to fund a program that provides grants to health schools and clinics for expanding abortion care training. These funds are specifically designated for institutions located in states where comprehensive abortion training is legal, with a priority on serving minority-serving schools and those training students from medically underserved areas. The program supports activities such as developing clinical curricula, utilizing telehealth, recruiting diverse healthcare workers, and offering scholarships to students pursuing this specialized training. Recipients must submit annual reports on program performance while ensuring federal funds supplement, rather than replace, existing state and private resources.

HR 9441: SAFE Training for OB-GYNs Act

The SAFE Training for OB-GYNs Act creates a new federal grant program to help medical residents who must leave their home states to receive training in reproductive health care due to local abortion restrictions. Funded with up to $10 million annually from 2027 to 2031, these grants support residency programs that offer specialized training in sexual and reproductive health, including abortion care. The funding can be used to expand existing programs or establish new ones specifically for out-of-state residents and to cover their travel expenses. This legislation directly affects health care professionals seeking specialized training and the medical residency programs that provide it.

HR 9448: Federal Workforce Reproductive Rights Protection Act

The Federal Workforce Reproductive Rights Protection Act prevents federal agencies from relocating headquarters or major operations to states with laws restricting or banning abortion, while also barring the use of funds to build or lease facilities in those locations. To support federal employees who need to access reproductive health care, the bill allows workers to decline transfers to restrictive states, grants up to 21 days of paid leave for travel to obtain such services, and provides reimbursement for travel costs without requiring disclosure of the specific medical procedure. Additionally, the legislation prohibits government agencies from investigating an employee's use of abortion services when reviewing security clearances or making personnel decisions and protects workers from retaliation if they exercise these new rights.

HR 9443: Saving FACE Act of 2026

The Saving FACE Act of 2026 amends federal criminal law to remove penalties for obstructing access to abortion services. It achieves this by changing the name of the relevant statute from "Freedom of Access to Clinics" to "Freedom of Access to Church" and removing the specific definition of abortion from the list of protected activities. Additionally, the bill updates the legal definition of abortion to exclude the intentional termination of a pregnancy, thereby narrowing the scope of the obstruction statute. These changes directly affect individuals who might otherwise face criminal charges for blocking entry to facilities providing abortion care.

S 4873: Promoting Human Flourishing in Foreign Assistance Act

This bill restricts how nonmilitary foreign assistance funds can be used by prohibiting organizations from supporting abortion, gender ideology, or discriminatory equity ideology outside the United States. It requires recipients of these funds to agree not to provide or promote these specific activities, mandates that U.S. organizations keep their foreign aid programs physically and financially separate from such work, and allows the Secretary of State to require foreign governments to place funds in segregated accounts to prevent misuse. The legislation defines prohibited concepts narrowly, such as defining sex strictly by biological classification and limiting exceptions for abortion to cases where a woman's life is in immediate danger. While the rules apply to foreign and international organizations receiving U.S. aid, U.S.-based nonprofits are exempt from the ban on providing these services domestically but must still ensure their foreign-funded projects do not engage in them.

HRES 1389: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the monitoring and regulation of water systems not be weaponized for the purposes of surveilling, tracking, or detecting use of, stigmatizing, and further restricting access to medication abortion care.

This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' view that monitoring water systems for medication abortion drugs should not be used to track or restrict access to abortion care. It states that such surveillance lacks scientific support and misuses environmental laws to target reproductive health services. The bill asserts that medications like mifepristone are safe and effective, and that water protection efforts should focus on actual environmental threats rather than political agendas. As a non-binding statement of sentiment, it does not create new laws but aims to influence future policy discussions on reproductive rights and environmental regulation.
