Assessments
Salinas made a concrete legislative effort by cosponsoring the Women’s Health Protection Act, which aimed to establish a federal statutory right to abortion access. However, the promised outcome was to codify abortion rights into federal law and improve access; the cited bills remained introduced or referred and were not enacted. Under the rule, serious effort without delivery is classified as never with the effort badge.
