Evidence

Sponsor: Rep. Fischbach, Michelle [R-MN-7] (Introduced 01/09/2025). Summary: the bill requires entities receiving federal funds to certify they will not perform abortions or provide funding to other entities that perform abortions, with rape, incest, and life-of-the-mother exceptions.

Fischbach introduced a bill to block federal funds from entities that perform abortions, which is direct legislative support for opposing federal funding for abortion.

Assessments

delivered same_term

The promise was to support and oppose, not necessarily to enact a final nationwide abortion-funding ban alone. In office, Fischbach materially performed that commitment during the same federal term by sponsoring H.R. 272 in 2025 to restrict federal funds from entities that perform abortions, and by serving as an original cosponsor of H.R. 7 in 2023 to prohibit taxpayer funding for abortion. The record also shows continued pro-life legislative alignment through her caucus leadership and House action on related born-alive legislation. Because the promise is framed around sustained legislative support and opposition rather than sole authorship of an enacted law, these actions are sufficient for delivery.

The promise was framed as support/opposition rather than a guarantee of final enactment. In the same federal House term context, Fischbach directly sponsored the 2025 Protecting Life and Taxpayers Act to restrict federal funds from entities that perform abortions, cosponsored H.R. 7 in 2023 to prohibit taxpayer funding for abortion, and the House passed related born-alive abortion legislation. These actions materially satisfy her pledge to support pro-life legislation and oppose federal abortion funding, even though the broader federal policy outcome was not fully enacted into law.

delivered same_term

Fischbach promised to support anti-abortion legislation and oppose federal funding for abortion. The evidence shows she directly introduced H.R.272 in 2025 to restrict federal funds from entities performing abortions and cosponsored H.R.7 in 2023 to prohibit taxpayer funding for abortion. These are direct legislative actions matching the promise. Because the promise was framed as support and opposition, not necessarily enactment into law, the documented sponsorship and cosponsorship are sufficient to count as delivered within the same term.
