Enforcing the Hyde Amendment

This executive order revokes two Biden-era executive orders (14076 and 14079) that had expanded federal funding and support for abortion access. It reinstates Hyde Amendment principles by directing OMB to issue guidance preventing federal taxpayer dollars from funding or promoting elective abortion across federal programs.
