Evidence

The Supreme Court docket records that on May 14, 2026, the application for stay was granted, staying the Fifth Circuit's May 1, 2026 order while the appeal and any timely certiorari petition proceed; Justices Thomas and Alito dissented.

Within the lookback window, the Court temporarily preserved the FDA mifepristone access status quo instead of allowing a nationwide restriction to take effect. This is a partial protection of abortion access, not a complete statutory right.

The appendix lists Rep. Adam Smith as an amicus. The brief argues that requiring mifepristone to be obtained at a hospital or medical office rather than by mail or pharmacy would significantly burden access, and that the Fifth Circuit order was not tied to legitimate safety concerns.

Smith joined a Supreme Court amicus filing seeking to block restrictions on mail/pharmacy mifepristone access. This is concrete pro-abortion-access action just before the lookback window and tied to the May 14 stay.

Congress.gov lists H.R.12 as introduced on June 24, 2025, referred to House Energy and Commerce and Judiciary, and still at the Introduced status. Its cosponsor list includes Rep. Adam Smith [D-WA-9] on June 24, 2025.

Smith is an original cosponsor of the current Women's Health Protection Act, but the bill has not advanced beyond committee referral, so federal codification remains unresolved.

The introduced text would give patients a right to terminate a pregnancy before viability, protect a right to travel for reproductive health services including abortion, and supersede inconsistent federal or state laws.

The bill Smith cosponsors would directly codify national abortion-rights protections. Because it is not enacted, it supports serious effort and partial progress, not full delivery.

Smith's office states he is a Congressional Pro-Choice Caucus member, calls abortion a fundamental right that must be safeguarded in federal law, says he is an original WHPA cosponsor, signed the WHPA discharge petition, supports several abortion-rights bills, and joined mifepristone amicus briefs.

Smith has publicly identified federal abortion-rights protection as his position and lists legislative and court actions, but the page does not prove enactment.

The Clerk records H.R.21 passing the House, 217 yeas to 204 nays with 1 present; Rep. Smith (WA), Democrat from Washington, voted Nay.

Smith opposed an abortion-related Republican bill on the House floor. The bill still passed the House, so this shows effort but not delivery of the abortion-rights commitment.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Smith has taken concrete federal actions to protect abortion rights, including original cosponsorship of the Women's Health Protection Act, signing a discharge petition, supporting related abortion-rights legislation, voting against abortion-restrictive legislation, and joining mifepristone access amicus briefs. However, the core promised outcome, protecting the right to abortion in federal law, has not been enacted. The Supreme Court stay preserved some mifepristone access temporarily, but it is not a complete statutory protection of abortion rights and was not solely attributable to Smith. This supports partial credit with serious effort during the same federal term, not full delivery.
