The order, in full
Executive Order 14182 of January 24, 2025
Enforcing the Hyde Amendment
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, it is hereby ordered:
Section 1. Purpose and Policy. For nearly five decades,
the Congress has annually enacted the Hyde Amendment
and similar laws that prevent Federal funding of
elective abortion, reflecting a longstanding consensus
that American taxpayers should not be forced to pay for
that practice. However, the previous administration
disregarded this established, commonsense policy by
embedding forced taxpayer funding of elective abortions
in a wide variety of Federal programs.
It is the policy of the United States, consistent with
the Hyde Amendment, to end the forced use of Federal
taxpayer dollars to fund or promote elective abortion.
Sec. 2. Revocation of Orders and Actions. The following
Executive Orders are hereby revoked:
(a) Executive Order 14076 of July 8, 2022; and
(b) Executive Order 14079 of August 3, 2022.
Sec. 3. Implementation. The Director of the Office of
Management and Budget shall promulgate guidance to the
heads of executive departments and agencies related to
implementation of sections 1 and 2 of this order.
Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order
shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or
the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.
(Presidential Sig.)
