Verified evidence shows Hawley materially pursued the commitment by calling on lawmakers to support his legislation, stating he had introduced legislation to withdraw FDA approval of mifepristone for abortion use, and officially introducing a bill that was referred to committee. The verified passages do not show that the legislation received a vote, passed, or that mifepristone was banned under federal law. With no deadline documented, the unenacted outcome remains unresolved rather than never or partial; introduction and advocacy are effort, not delivery of the ban.
