Congress.gov lists H.R. 12 as having the status “Introduced,” with latest action on 06/24/2025 referring it to committee. The bill text says it is “To protect a person’s ability to determine whether to continue or end a pregnancy, and to protect a health care provider’s ability to provide abortion services.”

The closest federal codification vehicle remained only introduced and did not become law as of the latest Congress.gov record.

The Congressional Record index under “Women’s Health Protection Act” lists “Enact (H.R. 12)” and “Enact (H.R. 12): consideration (see H. Res. 468).”

Sorensen was operating in the broader effort to advance a codify-Roe bill, but the cited legislation was still only under consideration and not enacted.

Under “Bills and resolutions cosponsored,” the index lists abortion bills including H.R. 12, the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would limit restrictions on abortion services and protect the right to determine whether to continue or end a pregnancy.

Sorensen cosponsored the main federal bill associated with codifying Roe, showing concrete legislative effort, but cosponsorship is not enactment.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Sorensen promised to codify Roe v. Wade and restore federal abortion-rights protections. In office, he cosponsored H.R. 12, the Women’s Health Protection Act of 2025, the main federal vehicle for that outcome, so he made a serious legislative effort. But the bill remains at the introduced/referred-to-committee stage and has not passed Congress or become law, so the promised federal codification has not been delivered.

never same_term A for effort

Sorensen promised to codify Roe v. Wade and restore abortion rights in federal law. He made a concrete legislative effort by cosponsoring H.R. 12, the Women’s Health Protection Act, which is the relevant federal vehicle for that policy goal. However, the bill remained introduced/referred to committee and was not enacted, so the promised legal outcome was not delivered.
